Asian shares rattled by Trump travel curb orders, dollar soft

Asian shares were on the defensive on Tuesday as stringent curbs on travel to the US ordered by President Donald Trump brought home to investors that he is serious about putting his radical campaign pledges into action.

"His stance is really inward-looking, making investors nervous about his 'moderateness'," said Masahiro Ichikawa, senior strategist at Sumitomo Mitsui Asset Management.
