Stock market today: Asian stocks mixed after tech shares pull Wall Street lower

Asian stocks were mixed after technology shares led Wall Street broadly lower, with investors waiting for chipmaker Nvidia’s quarterly earnings report later in the day. U.S. futures fell while oil prices gained. Japan’s exports rose more than expected in January, driven by strong demand for chip-making machinery in China, and solid export gains of autos to the U.S. and Europe. The S&P 500 fell 0.6% Tuesday. The benchmark index is coming off only its second losing week in the last 16. The Nasdaq composite gave up 0.9% and the Dow lost 0.2%.
