Asian equity markets ended mostly in red on Wednesday as bond yields tumbled, metals prices plunged sharply, oil eased on supply worries and the Japanese yen gained ground on Middle East concerns as well as worries over a possible US government shutdown. Chinese stocks fell after a senior researcher at the People's Bank of China urged central banks to tighten monetary policies. Further, Japanese shares ended sharply lower as geopolitical worries and concerns over a potential government shutdown in the US helped fuel demand for safe-haven assets.
