Chip stocks retreated on Friday, set to end the week heavily in the red.

Nvidia (NVDA) dropped more than 2% during the session. The AI heavyweight is on pace to end the week with losses of more than 8%.

Chip equipment maker ASML (ASML) also declined on Friday, on track to tally a decline of 17% over the past five sessions.
