Asian stock markets experienced a significant downturn at the end of October 2023, with Japan's Nikkei index leading the losses. This downturn occurred ahead of a week filled with major economic events, including the Bank of Japan's (BoJ) meeting and the Federal Reserve's rate decision. The Nikkei was particularly affected due to concerns about the BoJ's upcoming meeting.

The global markets were also impacted, with investors worldwide closely watching the developments in Asia. The anticipation of the BoJ's meeting and the Federal Reserve's rate decision caused a ripple effect across global markets, leading to a cautious approach from investors.

The downturn in the Asian markets and the Nikkei's losses were not isolated incidents. They were part of a broader trend in global markets, with investors worldwide bracing for a potentially volatile week. The upcoming economic events, particularly the BoJ's meeting and the Federal Reserve's rate decision, were expected to have significant implications for global markets.
