The Hang Seng Index (HSI) was up 0.3%. On Monday, the index dropped more than 2.6% — its worst single-day percentage loss since the beginning of August, according to Refinitiv data.
Markets plunged on Monday as violence escalated to new levels in Hong Kong. A traffic officer shot a protester, and in another part of the city, a man was set on fire when confronting a group of protesters.
Elsewhere in the region, China's Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP) opened slightly higher, though was last down nearly 0.2%. That index recorded its worst drop in more than four months on Monday, thanks to the uncertainty surrounding US-China trade talks and disappointing economic data.
