Asian markets settled down on Tuesday as US Treasury yields climbed on hawkish comments from the US Federal Reserve officials, while investors were cautiously awaiting the release of the minutes from the US Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting. The minutes of the Reserve Bank of Australia's meeting earlier this month considered increasing interest rates during the meeting. Chinese shares declined, led by cyclical shares as China’s stimulus measures failed to lift sentiment in the market. Moreover, Japanese shares fell on the back of a mixed close from Wall Street overnight.
