Asian chip and technology stocks fell sharply Friday after the Nasdaq Composite's overnight slide into correction territory. SK Hynix and Samsung dropped, while SoftBank and TSMC also tumbled as the Wall Street sell-off spread across the region. The move highlights how heavily Asian semiconductor names are tied to U.S. tech sentiment and AI-related valuations. Investors will watch whether the Nasdaq extends its decline and whether chip demand signals from major customers hold up.
