Stocks in Asia followed their U.S. counterparts lower after hawkish comments from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and weaker-than-expected economic data from China and Japan. The yen strengthened after the Bank of Japan reduced longer-dated bond purchases. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index dropped, led by financials, technology and materials stocks. Most national benchmarks declined with Chinese and Hong Kong shares underperforming as China’s official manufacturing gauge fell the most in five years in February. Data from Japan also added to the negative sentiment -- factory output fell more than expected in January and retail sales declined last month from December. The dollar held gains and Australian bond yields climbed as 10-year Treasury yields steadied around the 2.90 percent level.
