Stocks step back from recent 'reform' rally

China's main indexes edged lower on Tuesday, as investors took profits after a recent strong rally fueled by reforms hopes.

The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 0.2 percent, to 3,358.27 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.3 percent to 3,161.67 points.

The broad market losses were limited as participants continued to seek stocks that were tied to the State-owned enterprises, mixed-ownership reform theme.
