Asian stocks declined, with the regional gauge heading for its lowest close in two weeks, after Fitch Ratings joined Moodys Investors Service in warning that Europe faces lower credit ratings.
Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc. (8306), Japans largest lender by market value, fell 2.9 percent in Tokyo as the cost of insuring European debt rose toward a record. Advantest Corp. (6857) and other chip-related shares slid after bellwether Intel Corp. cut its sales forecast. BHP Billiton Ltd.
