Global Market: China equities muted as Hong Kong stocks slide amid global risks

Chinese equities remained largely subdued on Tuesday, with defensive sectors cushioning losses in technology stocks. The Shanghai Composite was nearly flat, while the CSI300 slipped marginally. Liquor, consumer staples and banking stocks gained, but technology-focused indices declined. Hong Kong stocks came under greater pressure, while global bond yields, Middle East tensions and oil prices above $90 added to risk-off sentiment.
