Asian stocks fell led by losses in health care stocks as traders stuck to a cautious tone ahead of key US reports on employment, manufacturing, housing, consumer confidence and Fed Chair Janet Yellen’s speech this week, which may offer further clues over the course of US interest rates.

China’s Shanghai Composite dropped for a second straight day led by losses in technology and property companies as Shenzhen also introduced real estate curbs last week, joining Shanghai.

Hang Seng was trading with slim losses as it reopened after the Easter break and Japan’s Nikkei 225 retreated amidst mixed economic data as a rise in household spending was accompanied by an increase in the country’s jobless rate.
