Asian stocks fell for a third day Monday amid mounting fears about U.S.-Chinese trade tensions. KEEPING SCORE: The Shanghai Composite Index fell 1.2 percent to 3,115.18 points and Tokyo's Nikkei 225 lost 0.8 percent to 20,445.03. South Korea's Kospi gained 0.2 percent to 2,422.63 while benchmarks in New Zealand, Taiwan and Southeast Asia fell. Facebook fell 13.9 percent, wiping out $68 billion of market value, as outrage mounted over its handling of user data. That has prompted fears the spat might depress trade worldwide and set back a global economic recovery.
