By Lisa Twaronite TOKYO (Reuters) - Global equities took another step down in Asia on Tuesday, with regional markets sliding and sterling wallowing near three-decade lows as Britain's shock vote to exit the European Union continued to roil financial markets. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slumped 0.3 percent, after Wall Street marked its worst two-day drop in about 10 months. Japan's Nikkei stock index was down 1.3 percent in early trading.
