Asia stocks fall after U.S. failure

It's a slippery slope, ya'll!


Asia is reacting to the shock on Capitol Hill today, and in early trading on Tuesday, the Tokyo Stock Exchange's Nikkei-225 index fell almost 580 points, a loss of 4.94% of its value in a matter of minutes, the BBC News is reporting.

Australia and New Zealand are seeing similar losses, with the S&P/ASX-200 index dropping 5.3% in Sydney and 4.7% fall in Wellington.

I'm bracing myself, are you?
