The few equity markets in Asia which were opened on Monday ended lower, while South Korea’s benchmark index ended the day flat, as hopes for signs of an economic recovery ahead of a set of key US data releases were tempered by persistent euro zone worries and sluggish domestic manufacturing activity. Meanwhile, data released early on Monday showed South Korea's manufacturing activity for December dipped to a fresh three-year low, underscoring concerns about slowing global demand in the face of an unresolved debt crisis in Europe.

Jakarta Composite declined 12.85 points or 0.34% to 3,809.14 and Taiwan Weighted was down by 119.87 points or 1.69% to 6,952.21.
