BEIJING (AP) -- Asian stock markets have fallen for a third day after a Wall Street sell-off on signs of weakness in the U.S. housing market triggered fears about the health of the global recovery.
Tokyo, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Seoul have all been down about 2 percent or more.
An analyst says that investor nervousness increased after Norway's decision yesterday to become the first European country to raise interest rates since the financial crisis began.
