Stock market: Asia slips after Wall Street, Hong Kong badly

Asian and Pacific equity markets are very heavy after the worst session in almost two years on Wall Street: with operators worried above all by the risks linked to inflation, Tokyo is about to close down by 1.8%, with Hong Kong which yields 2.7%.

    They try to keep the Chinese stock exchanges (Shanghai -0.3%, Shenzhen -0.2%) while Seoul loses 1.3% and Sidney one and a half percentage points.

    The futures on the launch of the European lists were negative but without collapsing.
