HONG KONG, June 3 (AFP): Asian markets mostly fell today, while the euro edged higher against the dollar following upbeat eurozone inflation data as traders track Greece's debt reform talks ahead of a repayment deadline.
Tokyo slipped 0.34 per cent, or 69.68 points, to 20,473.51 owing to a stronger yen, while Shanghai was marginally lower, giving up 0.55 points to 4,909.98.
Sydney shed 0.93 per cent, or 52.40 points, to 5,583.60 and Seoul gave back 0.74 per cent, falling 15.48 points to 2,063.16.
Hong Kong, however, rose 0.73 per cent in afternoon trade. Dealers moved out of Japanese equities for a second day after the Nikkei chalked up an impressive rally not seen since 1988, at the height of the country's stock market bubble.
