Current Events ( Asian Stocks Fall )

Asian stocks fell Friday, taking their cue from Wall Street after weak economic data revived concerns the world's biggest economy is headed for, or already in, recession.

The Shanghai Composite led the sell off with a more than 4 percent decline as supply concerns weighed. The lock-up period for certain institutional shareholders who own shares from initial public offerings are due to expire soon and investors expect a flood of shares to hit the market.
