Asian shares dropped on energy fuelled inflation fears and mounting concerns on Evergrande's debt problems. The Hang Seng 50 index (-1.66%), Shanghai Composite (-1.25%), Taiwan Stock Exchange Index (-1.25%), Nikkei 225 (-0.94%) and KOSPI (-1.35%) all fell into red territory.
Evergrande's debt troubles has caused jitters across global markets in recent months and the trend continues with the company's third round miss of bond coupon payments in three weeks, adding to the already brittle market sentiment over a potential contagion.
