12 Nov 2018 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mixed on Monday as global growth worries persisted and investors awaited key economic indicators from China due Wednesday for directional cues. Chinese shares ended higher after the China Securities Regulatory Commission rolled out a series of measures over the weekend to support the private sector. Meanwhile, Japanese shares ended little changed amid lack of fresh catalysts after the US midterm elections.
