Asia Stocks Drop on Broadcom Outlook, SpaceX Record IPO

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Asian stocks fell alongside US equity-index futures as the AI-fueled rally that powered global equities to record highs lost momentum after a weak forecast from Broadcom. Asian losses followed a pullback on Wall Street, where the S&P 500 snapped a nine-day winning streak as renewed US-Iran clashes damped risk appetite. Some relief emerged early Thursday after the US announced a ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, helping Brent crude halt a three-day rally. For more on the markets, we speak to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.

Plus -  SpaceX is seeking to raise $75 billion in an initial public offering that would be the biggest of all time, as Elon Musk's rocket, satellite and artificial intelligence company targets a historic debut that could clear a path for more mega-listings. The Starbase, Texas-based company plans to market about 555.6 million shares for $135 each, according to its filing Wednesday with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. At that price, SpaceX would have a market value of almost $1.77 trillion based on the outstanding shares in the filing. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Sylvia Jablonski, CIO at Defiance ETF's.
