Asian stocks fell after the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision raised capital adequacy requirements for the world’s biggest lenders and on concern Greece may not meet bailout conditions.
National Australia Bank Ltd. (NAB), the nation’s third-biggest lender by market value, dropped 1.5 percent in Sydney. Woodside Petroleum Ltd., Australia’s No. 2 oil and gas producer by sales, fell 0.9 percent as crude oil futures retreated. Samsung Electronics Co., South Korea’s biggest exporter of consumer electronics, declined 2.1 percent in Seoul after Apple Inc. sued the company charging patent infringement. Nintendo Co., the maker of Wii gaming consoles that gets 33 percent of sales from Europe, slid 1.4 percent in Tokyo.
“Some major banks may need to increase capital,” said Toshiyuki Kanayama, a market analyst at Tokyo-based Monex Inc. “There’s also more uncertainty about whether Greece can pass fiscal reconstruction packages.”
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped 1 percent to 130.92 as of 9:37 a.m. in Tokyo, with almost five stocks falling for each that rose. The gauge tumbled 6.1 percent from this year’s May 2 high through June 24 amid mounting concern that a slowing U.S. economy, Europe’s sovereign debt crisis and China’s steps to curb inflation will crimp earnings.
