Japanese and South Korean semiconductor stocks fell on Thursday as a US tech selloff dragged risk appetite across Asia. The drop was reinforced by concerns about heightened competition after Apple was reported to be in negotiations to buy Chinese chips. Overall, the news points to near-term pressure on regional semiconductor sentiment rather than company-specific financial changes.
