Iron ore fell 1.6 per cent to $US114.85 a tonne and Brent Crude was down 1.3 per cent to $US81.86 a barrel. The Australian dollar was flat at US66.2¢. The S&P 500 Index and Nasdaq Composite Index briefly hit record intraday highs Friday, but started to lose steam late morning. The Philadelphia Semiconductor Index sharply underperformed and ended the day to end the trading session down 4 per cent, after earlier touching an intraday record high.

Stocks had opened higher after data showed US job growth accelerated in February, with non-farm payrolls increasing by 275,000 jobs against an expected 200,000 rise. January jobs numbers were revised lower.
