**Asian stocks fall as tech slump on Wall Street drags sentiment**

**Asian markets** fell on Friday, following overnight losses on **Wall Street**, where a renewed sell-off in **technology stocks** weighed heavily on global risk appetite.

In **Tokyo**, the **Nikkei 225** dropped **1.6% to 50,064.38**, having fallen more than **2%** earlier in the session, as investors took profits after a volatile week for tech shares.

Weak trade data from **China** added to the cautious mood. The country’s **exports fell 1.1% in October**, with **shipments to the United States down 25% year-on-year**. However, economists said exports could rebound in the coming months after **U.S. President Donald Trump** and **Chinese leader Xi Jinping** agreed last week to **de-escalate trade tensions** between the world’s two largest economies.

Elsewhere, **Hong Kong’s Hang Seng** index slid **0.9% to 26,247.36**, while the **Shanghai Composite** was broadly flat at **4,007.45**. **South Korea’s Kospi** tumbled **2.2% to 3,937.22**, and **Taiwan’s Taiex** fell **0.7%**. In **Australia**, the **S&P/ASX 200** lost **0.8% to 8,761.10**.

The weakness followed another decline on **Wall Street**, where major benchmarks fell for a second straight session. The **S&P 500** closed down **1.1% at 6,720.32**, the **Dow Jones Industrial Average** fell **0.8% to 46,912.30**, and the **Nasdaq Composite** dropped **1.9% to 23,053.99**, led by declines in **AI and semiconductor stocks**.

In bond markets, the **yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury** slipped to **4.093%**, from **4.151%** late Wednesday, as investors moved into safer assets amid renewed market volatility.
