Asian equity indices are exhibiting mixed trade in early deals on Tuesday, after the rally on Wall Street took a breather overnight. Investors are awaiting trade data from China this week and keeping an eye on geopolitical risks centered on North Korea. Besides, Japan’s Nikkei share average edged up in choppy trade after a three-day weekend as the weak yen supported sentiments, but Kobe Steel’s shares were set to plunge after it said it had fabricated data. Among the other Asian markets, Indonesia, Shanghai, Singapore, and Malaysia are lower. Bucking the trend, Hong Kong and South Korea are higher. The markets in Taiwan are closed for the National Day holiday.
