Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower in the early deals on Monday as the decline in commodity prices, negative cues from Wall Street and weak Chinese manufacturing data dampened investor sentiment. The Japanese market declined, snapping a three-day winning streak, as a barrage of earning reports failed to dispel growing concerns over a slowdown in China's economy. Among the other Asian markets, Taiwan, Shanghai, South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore and Malaysia are also lower. Meanwhile, Indonesia is in positive territory.
