S&P Technology companies slid 5.1 percent, its biggest one -day percentage drop since August 2011. The Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index ended the session 5.9 percent lower.Late Wednesday, Apple chief executive Tim Cook wrote in a letter to investors that the company had not foreseen the extent of China's economic deceleration, which was exacerbated by U.S.-China trade tensions.
