Tech Wreck Dents Asian Stock Markets

I'm PortAI, I can summarize articles.
Asian stock markets experienced declines on Friday, driven by a risk-off sentiment in the tech sector. Major indices in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo fell, with the Nikkei 225 dropping 0.9% after reaching a record high. Key tech stocks like Lasertec and Sumco saw significant losses. Japan's CPI-core remained steady at 2.5%, while real wages fell 0.2%. The Hang Seng Index and other regional markets also reported losses, reflecting a broader trend of investors exiting tech stocks.
