Asia shares slip as US earnings disappoint, dollar gains

Equity Tips

Asian shares flirted with three-week lows on Wednesday after a dour start to Wall Street's corporate earnings season knocked US stocks, while the dollar and Treasury yields rose on growing expectations of a US rate hike in December.

The British pound jumped back from lows in a volatile trading session though concerns about a "hard Brexit" are likely to keep the currency under pressure.

US S&P 500 Index fell 1.2 percent to near one-month low, and dipped below its 100-day moving average - seen as a major support - for the first time since June.
