SYDNEY, March 15 (Reuters) – Asian stocks were in the red on Tuesday as surging COVID-19 cases in China hit the confidence of investors who are already worried about the Ukraine war and the first U.S. interest rate rise in three years that could come this week.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS) fell 1.97%, led by pronounced weakness in Chinese stocks. The index is down 8.2% so far this month.

Those losses extended into the Asian session, however, the investor focus had shifted to the demand side, with China’s new wave of COVID-19 infections casting a cloud over the outlook for the world’s second-largest economy.

Washington has warned Beijing against providing military or financial help to Moscow after its invasion of Ukraine, as sanctions on Russian political and business leaders mount. read more

“The question we are asking is whether the markets have reached peak bearishness,” said Jack Siu, Credit Suisse’s chief investment officer for Greater China.

“We know there has been a lot of bad news, there could be worse to come, stock prices have fallen substantially and there is no clarity on any resolutions from U.S. regulators towards Chinese listed stocks there.”

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index (.HSI) remained mired in negative territory Tuesday, dropping 4% following an almost 5% selloff a day earlier. Hong Kong’s main board is down 17% so far in March.

The city’s tech index (.HSTECH) has been hammered, falling nearly 30% this month as investors worry about the next regulatory crackdown from U.S. and Chinese authorities on the sector.

China’s CSI300 index (.CSI300) was down 1.78%, pushing its losses for the month out to 11.2%. Australian shares (.AXJO) closed down 0.73%.

Shrugging off the weakness in Asia, however, stock futures for the S&P 500 rose 0.21% while Tokyo’s Nikkei Index (.N225) reversed its losses and was marginally higher, up 0.22%.

Adding to the overall negative sentiment for markets are rising case numbers of COVID-19 in China, which investors fear will hurt the mainland’s economic growth in the first quarter. read more

China on Tuesday reported 3,602 new confirmed coronavirus cases compared with 1,437 on Monday. read more .

During the Asian session, U.S. crude slipped a further 5.2% to $97.66 a barrel. Brent crude was down 5.16% to $101.37 per barrel. read more
