Global markets:

Overseas, Asian stocks are trading lower on Tuesday after Wall Street slipped overnight. Also the prospect of further monetary policy tightening by central banks, China's renewed COVID outbreak and Europe's energy shortage impacted sentiment.

U.S. equities fell Monday as Wall Street braced for big company earnings reports slated for later in the week which could signal how inflation is impacting businesses.

Twitter shares dropped sharply after Elon Musk terminated a deal worth $44 billion to buy the social media company.
