(Updates to close)
SYDNEY, Feb 2 (Reuters) - Australian shares shed 1 percent on Tuesday, led by losses in resources and industrial stocks, following downbeat manufacturing data from China and the U.S. and poor consumer confidence numbers at home. S&P/ASX 200 index .AXJO fell 50.3 points to 4,993.3 by the close of trade, more than erasing the previous day's gain of 0.8 percent. The benchmark is down nearly 6 percent so far in 2016.
New Zealand's benchmark S&P/NZX 50 index .NZ50 rose 5.6 points, or 0.1 percent, to finish the session at 6,180.1.
