Analysts say that tech giants are extremely concentrated in the benchmark markets in the Asia-Pacific region. The top five stocks in the Nikkei 225 Index account for around 38% of the total weight. "If there are any issues with the artificial intelligence or semiconductor trends, the Nikkei index will immediately plummet," said Takehiko Masuzawa, stock trading director at Phillip Securities Japan. "I do think we will continue to see more corrections and increased volatility."
