Asian Markets Drop After China Investment Fall

Shares across Asia fell Monday after China reported fixed-asset investment declined 2.6% in November, signaling continued weak domestic demand. The retreat compounded a late-week selloff in U.S. technology and artificial-intelligence stocks — led by Broadcom's 11.4% plunge and Nvidia's losses — that erased recent gains. Markets now await a Bank of Japan interest-rate decision and additional data for direction.
