BANGKOK—Stocks across Europe and Asia are seeing a decline after Wall Street managed to recover most of its sharp losses from the previous day, thanks to a series of strong profit reports.
In Europe, Germany’s DAX shed 0.2 percent to 16,658.43, while the CAC 40 in Paris edged 0.1 percent lower to 7,562.91. Britain’s FTSE 100 also saw a decrease of 0.1 percent, at 7,691.25.
Meanwhile, the future for the S&P 500 was 0.2 percent lower, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 0.4 percent.
The decline in shares comes after it was reported that Hong Kong-traded stocks of Netease and Tencent took a plunge following the release of new regulations for online gaming in China, which ultimately contributed to a 1.7 percent decrease in the benchmark Hang Seng index, which closed at 16,340.41.
Tencent, China’s largest gaming company, saw a dive of about 16 percent in its shares, before recovering some ground to close 12 percent lower. On the other hand, rival NetEase’s stock price dropped by about 25 percent.
