Most Asian-Pacific benchmarks lost ground Tuesday, posting heavy losses on worries that recent rally may have gone too far, especially currency-rate gains with exporter issues benefiting from them. The decliners were led by The Nikkei which tumbled 1.9% to 16,124.35, followed by South Korea’s Kospi, down 0.9%, and Taiwan’s Weighted index, down 0.5%. China’s Shanghai Composite and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng reversed from recent weakness to finish higher by 0.4% each. |
