HONG KONG: Asian markets tumbled Thursday (July 25) after a tech-fuelled sell-off saw Wall Street tank, as disappointing earnings caused traders to panic that a months-long rally in the sector may have been overdone.

Tokyo's Nikkei led the retreat in equities, with a stronger yen adding to the downward pressure on exporters, while technology giants across the region were deep in the red.
