Hong Kong shares dropped for the second consecutive day on Tuesday, tracking weakness of the US and Japanese stock markets. Political instability in Spain as well as caution ahead of the ECB press conference scheduled on Thursday also put heavy pressure on Hong Kong blue chips. However, positive China's data limited the downswing. China's services industry grew to 54 in January from 51.7 in December, indicating the fastest expansion in four months.

Property developers slid on concerns the government may introduce more cooling measures if necessary. Henderson Land and Sino Land dipped 3.86% and 3.06%.
