Summary

  • Japan and South Korea equity-index futures pointed lower Tuesday, signaling broad pressure on Asian stocks after a tech-led Wall Street retreat.
  • The Nasdaq 100 fell nearly 1% as semiconductor heavyweights dragged US shares down, leaving US stock-index futures little changed in early trading.
  • Nvidia dropped for a seventh straight session ahead of earnings this week, its longest losing streak since 2022 and a fresh weight on tech sentiment.
  • A drop in oil offered limited relief as traders also assessed Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent’s plan to isolate Iran from the global economy.
