Most Asian stocks fell Tuesday as concern China is curtailing loan growth hurt sentiment after U.S. stocks hit a record on optimism about the rebound in the world’s largest economy. Treasuries and the dollar ticked up.
An Asia-Pacific share gauge dipped for the first day in four, led by losses in Japan. S&P 500 stock futures were slightly in the red, while European contracts pointed higher. The U.S. index reached an all-time high Monday with most of its major groups advancing. Megacap U.S. technology stocks rallied, including a surge by Facebook Inc. to a new peak as the Nasdaq 100 jumped 2%.
In China, the central bank asked the nation’s major lenders to curtail loan growth for the rest of this year, according to people familiar with the matter. Australia’s monetary authority left its key policy settings unchanged and said it’s monitoring trends in housing borrowing as home prices rise.
Meanwhile, oil pared some of its overnight slide, which was sparked partly by delays in Europe’s reopening due to rising virus cases.
