Asian equities posted a modest drop at the open after Wall Street’s pullback from record highs sparked caution among investors. MSCI’s regional stock gauge dropped 0.2% with technology shares among the losers. The S&P 500 slipped 0.4% on Tuesday as concerns grew that a $16 trillion surge from its April lows was excessive. An index of US-listed Chinese shares fell the most since the end of August ahead of Hong Kong’s return from a holiday. Gold was just a touch short of $4,000 an ounce.
