Asian stocks dip as US political concerns grow

SYDNEY/NEW YORK - Asian stocks slipped on Tuesday as investors adjusted risk exposure heading into the US election and as a deadline for Washington to pass an economic stimulus bill approached while Europe reported record daily coronavirus infections.

Chris Weston, the head of research at Melbourne brokerage Pepperstone, said while there were worries about the US stimulus package, recent declines were likely due to positioning ahead of the Nov 3 presidential election.
