YEREVAN, August 27. \/ARKA\/.<\/strong> Asian stock markets fell Tuesday, dented by fears the U.S. government is gearing up for a redoubled confrontation with Syria.<\/p>\n

Economic releases scheduled later in the day were not likely to provide the good news needed to reverse the losses, analysts said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFurther US data disappointment is likely today, with the August consumer confidence survey set to decline in contrast to a likely increase in the German IFO business confidence survey,\u201d Mitul Kotecha of Credit Agricole CIB in Hong Kong said in a market commentary.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 index fell 0.7 percent to 13,543.18. Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng dropped 1 percent to 21,777.38. South Korea\u2019s Kospi shed 0.2 percent to 1,883.96 and Australia\u2019s S&P\/ASX 200 was nearly unchanged at 5,136.40.<\/p>\n

Markets in the U.S. were rattled Monday after Secretary of State John Kerry said there was \u201cundeniable\u201d evidence of a large-scale chemical weapons attack in Syria last week, and suggested the administration was edging closer to a military response.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones industrial average fell 0.4 percent to close at 14,946.46. The Standard & Poor\u2019s 500 slipped 0.4 percent to close at 1,656.78. The Nasdaq composite slipped marginally to 3,657.57.<\/p>\n

Stocks also struggled to make progress after the U.S. Commerce Department said orders for long-lasting durable goods, such as commercial aircraft, plunged 7.3 percent in July. That was the steepest drop in a year.<\/p>\n

The durable goods figures followed a report Friday revealing that new home sales in the U.S. tumbled last month, raising questions about the strength of the recovery in the U.S. housing market, a key piece of the country\u2019s overall economy. \u20130–<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
