Nasdaq futures rise 1% in early Asia-Pacific trading

The breadth of the after-hours move matters more than the headline index gain: chip-linked names like Intel, Micron, AMD and Nvidia are moving together, suggesting a sector-wide repricing rather than a single-stock story. The split is equally telling, with Netflix's sharp drop and Apple's modest slip showing that the bid is selective, not a blanket tech rally. Whether this semiconductor-led strength carries into the cash session, or fades as it did in after-hours trade, is the open question.
