The Nasdaq Composite was facing a fresh selloff Friday, capping a tumultuous week for the benchmark, as investors sold technology and technology-related shares, amid growing concerns that higher borrowing costs are in store for the U.S. economy.

The decline for the index comes amid a broader decline in the S&P 500 index SPX, -0.84% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, -0.17%, after a weaker-than-expected November jobs report was seen as unlikely to stay the hand of a Federal Reserve that seems intent on tamping down inflation.
