HONG KONG\/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Asian stocks reversed earlier gains on Tuesday, weighed by Chinese markets as investors took profit on a recent rally in some mainland firms, although ebbing inflation fears helped shore up broader sentiment in the region.<\/p>

Investors now await a closely watched Congressional appearance by U.S. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell and Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen later in the day.<\/p>\n

MSCI\u2019s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dropped 0.57%, hurt by a 1.5% fall in Chinese blue chips.<\/p>\n

Gary Ng, economist at Natixis, said Chinese shares had run ahead of other Asian markets recently, which meant they were due for some kind of correction.<\/p>\n

Overnight announcements of new sanctions also did not help Chinese stocks, even though analysts said markets had become fairly accustomed to such developments.<\/p>\n

The United States and others including the European Union sanctioned Chinese officials on Monday for human rights abuses in Xinjiang, and Beijing hit back with punitive measures against European lawmakers, diplomats, institutes and families.<\/p>\n

Jin Jing, an analyst with China Fortune Securities, said sanctions hurt risk appetite, in particular for foreign investors, who sold shares via the Stock Connect.<\/p>\n

Persistent worries of policy tightening at home also continued to weigh on high-flying sectors and stocks with lofty valuations as investors turned cautious.<\/p>\n

Beyond China, Asian shares were mixed after Wall Street\u2019s gains on Monday as investors cheered a break in the recent run-up of bond yields.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.32%, the S&P 500 gained 0.70% and the Nasdaq Composite added 1.23%.<\/p>\n

Developed markets and emerging Asia also managed to digest a surprise move by Turkey\u2019s President to replace the central bank governor with a critic of high interest rates.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t appear that you\u2019re going to see much contagion from Turkey,\u201d said Alex Wolf, head of investment strategy for Asia at J.P. Morgan Private Bank citing \u201cpretty strong flows into Asia\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cInvestors are less looking at emerging markets as one giant bloc.\u201d<\/p>\n

Benchmark 10-year notes ticked up slightly, last yielding 1.6857%, but down from 1.732% late on Friday.<\/p>\n

\u201cU.S. risk assets were aided by a dip in Treasury yields to start the week. Movements in yields will continue to be closely watched this week amid a series of U.S. Treasury auctions and testimony by Treasury Secretary Yellen and Fed Chair Powell,\u201d ANZ Research said in a daily note.<\/p>\n

Fed Chair Powell said in remarks prepared for a congressional hearing on Tuesday that the U.S. recovery had progressed \u201cmore quickly than generally expected and looks to be strengthening\u201d.<\/p>\n

The dollar\u2019s index against a basket of six major currencies stood almost flat in early Asian trade at 91.853, having slipped 0.32% on Monday.<\/p>\n

But oil dropped amid ample supply and concerns that new pandemic curbs and slow vaccine rollouts in Europe will slow a recovery in fuel demand.<\/p>\n

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude oil futures <CLc1 > dropped 1.28% and Brent crude futures dropped by 1.27%.<\/p>\n
