The video discusses a global market sell-off affecting Asia, with Japan's equities dropping over 3% following declines in the Dow and S&P 500. The sell-off is driven by a significant drop in WTI crude oil prices, which have fallen below $50 per barrel, the lowest since 2009, due to increased US stockpiles.
