Stocks in Asia slipped in early trading as heavyweight chip shares gave back some of the gains from Thursday’s blistering rally.
A gauge of Asian equities was down 1.1%, while South Korea’s tech-heavy Kospi dropped over 3%. US futures were little changed. The moves followed a choppy session on Wall Street, marked by heightened volatility in the tech sector. The S&P 500 ended flat, failing to sustain an early rally fueled by Micron Technology Inc., as Apple Inc.’s shares slid 6.1%. The iPhone maker led the Magnificent Seven lower after it raised prices on Macs, iPads and home devices.
