Asian shares subdued as tech blues offset U.S. tax cut hopes

Asian shares were subdued on Tuesday as investors' rotation out of technology shares took the toll on some of the region's tech heavyweights although hopes of a major tax cut in the United States underpinned risk sentiment. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan were capped by the fall in the region's technology shares, with Samsung Electronics losing 1.5 percent. Japan's Nikkei (.N225) fell 0.4 percent, with semiconductor-related shares such as Tokyo Electron and Shin-etsu Chemical leading the losses.
