Asia markets largely positive as semiconductor and Apple supplier stocks jump

Asia markets were broadly positive on Friday as semiconductor-related and Apple supplier stocks rose. The U.S. was "under no pressure to make a deal with China, they are under pressure to make a deal with us," U.S. President Donald Trump said on Twitter after reports that Washington officials had reached out to Beijing to restart trade negotiations. Asia markets were largely positive on the final trading day of the week, as stocks of semiconductor-related companies and Apple suppliers jumped.
