Stocks and U.S. futures dropped in Asian trading Tuesday, with Hong Kong equities falling more than 2%.
The yen and U.S. Treasuries advanced as a broad risk-off move developed, with gold edging higher. China’s yuan weakened by the most in three months. Market participants attributed the moves to worries over China’s coronavirus, after reports indicating mounting evidence of its contagiousness among humans. Seven straight weekly advances in the MSCI Asia Pacific Index might also have left some investors looking for a short-term exit point from equities.
