Asian Stocks Fall Despite ECB's Loan Lifeline

Description:Asian shares weakened Thursday, amid doubts over how much of the ECB's loans to banks will actually flow into struggling euro zone economies. After climbing to a one-week high in previous trade, regional stock markets lost over 0.7 percent. Sentiment in the technology sector was also hit by software maker Oracle's dismal results. Japan's Nikkei 225 snapped two days of gains after meeting steep resistance, near its 25-day moving average. (2:08)
