Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower in the early deals on Tuesday as investors adopted a cautious tone ahead of key events from OPEC talks to the US jobs report and Italy's referendum. Meanwhile, Japan's Nikkei share average dropped in line with Wall Street, while a stronger yen hurt sentiment and insurers took a breather from recent gains. Among the other Asian markets, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Malaysia are all in negative territory. Bucking the trend, Taiwan, Shanghai and Indonesia are higher.
