Asian equity markets ended mostly lower on Thursday as investors harbour very little hope that the Sino-US trade talks will lead to a breakthrough. A US trade delegation arrived in Beijing on Thursday for key talks over tariffs. A breakthrough deal to fundamentally change China’s economic policies is viewed as highly unlikely during the two-day visit, though a package of short-term Chinese measures could delay a US decision to impose tariffs on around $50 billion worth of Chinese exports. Meanwhile, the Japanese market was closed for a public holiday.
