US equities witnessed a sharp drop overnight amid concerns over a surge in government debt should Congress approve a tax-reduction bill proposed by US President Donald Trump's administration, Reuters reported.
In corporate news, tech firms mirrored overnight losses by US giants Nvidia and Apple, with Alibaba (HKG:9988) and Xiaomi (HKG:1810) closing over 3% and 2% lower, respectively.
Meanwhile, Baidu (HKG:9888) retreated 4% after Daiwa Securities Group slashed its forecast for the company's advertising revenue by 3% to 4% from 2025 to 2027.
This comes after Baidu reported a 6% decline in core online marketing revenue in the first quarter, South China Morning Post reported.
