US stocks were poised for a steep retreat from record highs on Wednesday, as techs came under dual pressure from worries about US export curbs on China and Donald Trump's stance on Taiwan. Futures on the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 led declines, down 1.2%, while S&P 500 futures sank 0.7%. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures slid roughly 0.2% after the blue-chip index surged 700 points on Tuesday to wrap up an all-time high.

Shares of ASML , cited as a potential target, dropped roughly 7% after the Dutch chip gear maker posted solid quarterly earnings.
