Hong Kong stocks fell Tuesday, tracking an overnight tech selloff on the Wall Street, while persistent anti-monopoly fears also weighed on tech giants listed in the Asian financial hub.

The Hang Seng index dropped 2.2% to 27,982.21, while the Hong Kong China Enterprises Index lost 2.4%, to 10,398.45.

China stocks ended firmer Tuesday, underpinned by gains in consumer and healthcare firms, after data showed that factory-gate prices in the world’s 2nd-largest economy last month had reached the highest marks since October 2017.

The blue-chip CSI300 index was up 0.6% at 5,023.06, capping a 4-day losing streak, while the Shanghai Composite Index firmed 0.4% to finish at 3,441.85.

Japanese shares declined Tuesday, dragged down by tech stocks tracking overnight Wall Street losses, while domestic cyclical stocks also fell.

The Nikkei share average fell 2.52% to 28,774.45 by 0158 GMT, while the broader TOPIX lost 1.84% to 1,916.40.

Tech stocks pushed Australian shares lower Tuesday as investors worried that rising commodity prices could stoke inflation.

The S&P/ASX 200 index slipped about 1.1% to 7,097, pulling back from a record closing high hit Monday.

New Zealand’s benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index extended losses into the 5th session, running ending off 0.2% on the day,
