Asian shares were off on a choppy start on Tuesday, with any enthusiasm fostered by China's latest steps to shore up its markets offset by another surge in the US bond yields and slide in the US rate cut expectations.

The Nikkei index was trading 0.6% lower, while Hang Seng was trading 1.5% higher. Meanwhile Shanghai index is trading 0.4% higher.

Wall Street stock indices closed lower on Monday after Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell pushed back firmly against speculation that rate cuts would be imminent, while investors assessed a mixed bag of US earnings reports.
