Asian equity markets ended mostly in red on Tuesday as oil prices fell again on oversupply concerns and the Bank of Japan preferred to stand pat on rates after its surprise January decision to adopt negative interest rates. Lackluster cues from Wall Street, a weaker yuan and profit taking after recent sharp gains also kept investors on edge ahead of a two-day Federal Reserve monetary policy meeting that gets underway tonight. Japanese stocks ended lower after the central bank decided to leave its main policies unchanged, resulting in a stronger yen that pushed exporter shares lower. However, China stocks recouped early losses to end modestly higher on Tuesday, led by gains in finance, consumer and real estate shares.
