Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index dropped more than 3% Tuesday, dragged by its real estate and energy sectors.
The benchmark index's loss of over 500 points is a significant decline, Everbright Securities' Kenny Ng told CNBC via e-mail.
"Additionally, the US dollar index has remained relatively strong, exerting downward pressure on the Hong Kong stock market."
The index was last trading down 3.16% after coming back from a holiday on Monday.
