Asian stocks today: Markets mostly in red after Wall Street's slump; HSI nears 1% loss, Nikkei trims over 740 points

Tokyo's Nikkei plunged amid anticipation of a potential Bank of Japan rate hike, while US futures showed a slight uptick. Tech stocks dragged down US markets on Friday, though some consumer-reliant companies remained resilient.
