Asian markets are exhibiting mixed trend in the early deals on Monday, following the sharp losses on Wall Street for a second straight day on Friday and the continued weakness in the price of crude oil. Meanwhile, Japanese stocks fell as the yen gained against the dollar, putting pressure on exporters after the Bank of Japan disappointed markets with minor adjustments to its massive stimulus programme. Among the other Asian market, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia are all in negative territory with modest losses. Bucking the trend, South Korea, Taiwan, Shanghai, and Hong Kong are marginally higher.
