All of the Asian markets are trading in red in early deals on Thursday despite a strong day on Wall Street that was spurred by encouraging signs on US hiring and growth in the service sector. Meanwhile, the Japanese market slipped into negative territory after opening higher following the overnight gains on Wall Street and on a weaker yen.
