Stock market today: Asian stocks slide, Kospi down 1.4%, as South Korea's political drama settles

Asian markets are mostly lower after overnight political drama in South Korea added to regional uncertainties. Seoul's Kospi fell 1.4% and the won regained sharp losses against the U.S. dollar. U.S. futures and oil prices rose.
