Dow Jones
Dec 15, 2025
0911 GMT - European chip-related stocks are mostly lower as falls in Asian tech stocks and the U.S. weigh on investor confidence. Dutch manufacturer ASM is the biggest faller, dropping 1.3%, while compatriot BE Semiconductor Industries falls 0.8%. ASML, another Dutch manufacturer, nudges up 0.15%, though trading is volatile. German company Suss Microtec is down 1.5%, while French semiconductor manufacturer STMicroelectronics rises 0.2%. The rocky start to trading follows a week in which U.S. tech companies Oracle and Broadcom led a broader tumble in AI-related stocks. Asian markets also fall, with Japanese tech investor SoftBank dropping 5.95%. (josephmichael.stonor@wsj.com)
