Wall Street indexes provided middling cues to Asian markets, after logging a mixed close on Monday. While strength in tech drove the to record highs, most other sectors lagged amid persistent uncertainty over interest rates. U.S. stock index futures fell slightly in Asian trade.
China rally stalls, more stimulus cues awaited

Hong Kong stocks slide on EV, tech losses

Group Holding Ltd (HK:) (NYSE:) fell 1% after its cloud unit further slashed prices, specifically for the firm’s Tongyi Qianwen AI bot.
Inc (HK:) (NASDAQ:) sank 3%, tracking losses in its peers.
