In Japan, the Nikkei 225 slipped 0.5% in its first hour of trade, while the Topix shed 0.39%. South Korea's Kospi fell 1.66%, easing off Monday's gains when the index posted its best session since late March 2020 after the country re-imposed a ban on short selling.

IG market analyst Tony Sycamore noted the yield on the U.S. 30 year bond rose by 14 basis points overnight to 4.30%, taking the yield towards its October 2022 4.42% high. "The move higher in long end yields is being driven by lumpy bond issuance, resilient data and Fitch's downgrade earlier in the week," Sycamore said. South Korea's Kospi bucked the trend and rose 0.26%, while the Kosdaq was up 0.19%.
