TOKYO (AP) – Global shares fell Tuesday as setbacks for a health care overhaul in the U.S. raised doubts over website prospects for a range of reforms backed by President Donald Trump. Expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will move cautiously in raising interest rates also sent the dollar lower.

KEEPING SCORE: France’s CAC 40 slipped 0.5 percent to 5,206.06 in early trading, while Germany’s DAX was also down 0.5 percent at 12,527.00. Britain’s FTSE 100 fell 0.5 percent to 7,366.63. U.S. shares were set to drift slightly lower with Dow futures flat at 21,581, and S&P 500 futures down 0.1 percent at 2,456.40.

ASIA’S DAY: Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 lost 0.6 percent to finish at 19,999.91 as the yen gained against the dollar. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 dipped 1.2 percent to 5,687.40. South Korea’s Kospi was flat at 2,426.04. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng climbed 0.2 percent to 26,524.94, while the Shanghai Composite added 0.4 percent to 3,187.57. Shares in Southeast Asia were mixed, and India’s Sensex dropped 0.9 percent to 31,798.54.

HEALTHCARE REFORM: The Senate Republican health care bill suffered a potentially fatal setback Monday when two more GOP senators announced they would vote no in an initial, critical vote expected as soon as next week. The implosion leaves the divided GOP with its flagship legislative priority in tatters.

THE QUOTE: “The U.S. health care bill is back in the limelight,” Stephen Innes of OANDA said in a commentary. “This headline has massive implications to amend Obamacare and brings a huge element of doubt over the tax reform. Equity futures are wobbling, the dollar is selling off. Gold has picked up its allure again given the heightened political risk landscape.”

POLICY OUTLOOK: After Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen’s dovish comments last week on the pace of future interest rates, attention turns to meetings of the Bank of Japan and the European Central Bank. Given weak recent inflation trends, both central banks appear wary of major policy tightening moves.

ENERGY: Benchmark U.S. crude lost 11 cents to $45.91 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. It lost 52 cents, or 1.1 percent, to $46.02 a barrel in New York. Brent crude, used to price international oils, lost 10 cents to $48.32 a barrel in London.

CURRENCIES: The dollar has been weakening as investors conclude the U.S. government is unlikely to enact a significant infrastructure spending package to boost the economy. The dollar slipped to 112.28 yen from 112.66 yen late Monday in Asia. The euro rose to $1.1516 from $1.1460.
