Tuesday's decline in U.S. semiconductor equities came after ASML, a manufacturer of chip equipment, lowered its yearly sales projection and a report suggested that the Biden administration would explore restricting the supply of powerful artificial intelligence processors to specific nations. Nvidia, the leader in AI chips, dropped 4.4% after setting a new high in the previous session that nearly caused it to overtake Apple as the most valuable business in the world.
