The Asian markets ended lower on Monday after US shares fell in last session and as investors turned their attention to American politics ahead of tonight's first US presidential debate. Many traders were cautious ahead of the week-long National Day holiday starting on October 1. Chinese shares fell, with property stocks taking a fresh beating after Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province, adopted new rules restricting home purchases. Further, Japanese shares fell for a second consecutive session, as the dollar wobbled against the yen and euro ahead of this week's speeches by the heads of central banks in the US, Europe and Japan. However, oil prices recovered some lost ground in Asian deals, after Algeria's energy minister said the day before that all options were possible for an oil output cut or freeze at this week's informal meeting of OPEC producers.
