Tech giants looked set for a rebound from a selloff that drove the Nasdaq 100 down to its lowest since May, with Amazon.com Inc. and Intel Corp. rallying in late hours after reporting solid earnings.

A $192 billion exchange-traded fund tracking the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) rose in late trading after slumping almost 2% on Thursday.
