Asia-Pacific markets were poised to fall Tuesday, following a tech-led slide on Wall Street.
Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 was set to open lower, with the futures contract in Chicago at 49,925 and the one in Osaka at 49,810 against the index’s last close of 50,323.91.
Futures for Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index stood at 26,178, lower than its last close of 26,384.28.
Australia’s benchmark S&P/ASX 200 fell 0.76%.
Overnight in the U.S., stocks pulled back, plagued once again by declines in tech, as Wall Street awaited key releases this week, including Nvidia earnings and the September jobs report.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 557.24 points, or 1.18%, to close at 46,590.24, as losses in the artificial intelligence chip darling, along with Salesforce and Apple, pushed the blue-chip index lower. The S&P 500 sank 0.92% to end the day at 6,672.41, while the Nasdaq Composite tumbled 0.84% to settle at 22,708.07.
Nvidia dropped almost 2% ahead of the company’s third-quarter results, which are scheduled for after the bell on Wednesday. The chipmaker and other names in the AI trade were under pressure recently as investors grew anxious about stretched valuations. Blue Owl Capital, a private credit lender, shed nearly 6% amid concerns about its heavy lending tied to the AI data center buildout.

Venture Global wants to double planned capacity of Plaquemines LNG facility
HOUSTON, Nov 17 (Reuters) – Venture Global (VG.N) said on Monday it had asked the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission for permission to more than double the capacity of its Plaquemines liquefied natural gas export facility under development in Louisiana.The company wants to add 30 million metric tons per annum (mtpa) of additional LNG capacity to the previously approved 28 mtpa. Plaquemines is already the second-largest LNG facility in the U.S. and last month was responsible for 22% of total exports from the country, according to data from financial firm LSEG.

“Our decision to significantly increase the project’s permitted capacity reflects the strong market demand we continue to see and this expansion will play a vital role in meeting that demand,” Venture Global CEO Mike Sabel said in a statement.
The proposed expansion would allow the company to produce over 100 million mtpa of the liquid fuel and challenge QatarEnergy and Cheniere (LNG.N) as the world’s top exporter of LNG.A mere startup three years ago, Venture Global quickly became the second-largest U.S. LNG exporter with a business model that lets it export cargoes while construction and commissioning phases are still underway.
The strategy has allowed the company to profit from higher spot market prices before it begins supplying longer-term customers, but the practice has also resulted in arbitration cases and lawsuits from customers that include several of the world’s largest energy companies.The Plaquemines expansion will be built incrementally in three phases and consist of 32 modular liquefaction trains, the company said.
Venture Global has also filed an application with the U.S. Department of Energy for the export authorizations associated with the additional planned capacity, the company said.
