Asian equity markets ended mixed on Tuesday, with China's Shanghai Composite index ending higher in thin trading following the holiday weekend after President Xi Jinping pledged to maintain the healthy development of the stock market. Investors shrugged off the latest survey from Caixin, which revealed that activity in China's vast manufacturing sector unexpectedly declined further in April despite government stimulus. The manufacturing PMI fell to 49.4 from 49.7 in March. However, markets in Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Taiwan fell sharply as trading resumed after a long weekend. The Japanese market was closed today for the Constitution Day holiday.
