HONG KONG (Nikkei Markets) -- Asian stocks outside of Japan fell on Tuesday, dragged down by losses in technology heavyweights, while ongoing trade worries also cast a shadow on sentiment.
The Nikkei Asia300 Index shed 1.1% to 1,417.64. The losses came after a six-day winning streak for the equity index. U.S. stocks ended higher on Monday following upbeat remarks on U.S.-China trade relations from President Donald Trump on Sunday, saying the two nations are working well together on matters on trade.
