Asian markets fell as financial fears send banks lower with China snapped its long-running rally. Bank of East Asia, which leads off the results season finished higher despite a worse-than-expected second-half net loss of HKD 746 million and slashed its dividend to HKD 0.02 per share from HKD 1.18 per share, after selling a debt portfolio at a steep loss.
