July 17 (Reuters) - The Nasdaq tumbled more than 2% to a two-week low on Wednesday, pulled down as megacap chip and tech stocks fell on the prospect of tighter China-focused U.S. trade curbs, while the Dow bucked the trend and jumped to a record high.

A report that theBiden Administration was considering severetrade restrictions as part of a chip clampdown against China weighed on semiconductor stocks, sending the Philadelphia SE Semiconductor index .SOX spiraling4.9% to a two-week low, and putting the tech-heavy Nasdaq on pace for its worst day since December 2022.

AI-chip favorite Nvidia NVDA.O fell 6.2%, while ASML's U.S.-listing ASML.O slumped 11.4%

Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing's TSM.N U.S.-listed sharesshed 6.4% after Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said Taiwan should pay the U.S. for its defense.

However, the Dow .DJI rose to touch an intraday record high supported by Johnson & Johnson JNJ.N, which gained3.3% after asecond-quarter results beat.

Also lifting the blue-chip index, UnitedHealth Group UNH.N jumped 4% to a record high, while Intel INTC.O defied thechips rout to rise2.1%.

Participants said the broader decline in stocks was unsurprising after a blistering rally in tech companies since the last leg of 2023, in addition to a recent spurt in small-cap stocks, as investors looked to add lagging sectors of the market to their portfolios.

"The market has had a tremendous run since the start of July... we have the July months options expiration on Friday, and we tend to weaken in the back half of July. Combine that with the rotation we've seen out of the megacap names and pressure in semiconductor stocks today (and) we were due for a dip," said Bret Kenwell, U.S. investment analyst at eToro.

The small-cap Russell 2000 index .RUT also lost0.8% after rallying nearly 12% in the last five sessions.

All the so-called "Magnificent Seven" megacap stocks, which have primarily driven Wall Street's rally this year, slumped more than 1%. Apple AAPL.O, Amazon AMZN.O, Meta Platforms META.O and Tesla TSLA.O lost between 2.6% and 4.1%.

The S&P 500 Tech index .SPLRCT led sectoral losses with a3.5% decline, while Energy .SPNY was the top gainer, up 1.1%.

Signaling growing investor unease,Wall Street's "fear gauge" .VIX briefly hit its highest level in six weeks.

Federal Reserve officials including New York's John Williams and Board Governor Christopher Waller said the central bank was "getting closer" to the point where it could start cutting interest rates, with Richmond's Thomas Barkin saying the U.S. was at the "back end" of inflation.

At 12:11 p.m. ET, the Dow Jones Industrial Average .DJI was up 224.37 points, or 0.55%, at 41,178.85, the S&P 500 .SPX was down 71.22 points, or 1.26%, at 5,595.98, and the Nasdaq Composite .IXIC was down 487.64 points, or 2.63%, at 18,021.70.

Shares of J.B. Hunt Transport Services JBHT.O fell7.2% on Wednesday after the company missed revenue expectations, weighing on the Dow Jones Transportation Average index .DJT.

Spirit Airlines SAVE.N slumped 10.9% after cutting itssecond-quarter revenue outlook, citing lower-than-expected non-ticket revenue.

Declining issues outnumbered advancers by a1.36-to-1 ratio on the NYSE, and by a1.96-to-1 ratio on the Nasdaq.

The S&P index recorded 79 new 52-week highs and no new lows, while the Nasdaq recorded 220 new highs and 23 new lows.
