Most of the Asian market indices are trading in red in early deals on Tuesday, following a tech-led slump on Wall Street amid indications of weak demand for Apple's iPhones. Worries about global economic growth and trade wars also dampened sentiments. The Japanese market is trading lower following the overnight sell-off on Wall Street. In addition, a stronger safe-haven yen pulled down exporters' stocks. Among the other Asian markets, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Malaysia are lower. Bucking the trend, Indonesia and Shanghai are in positive territory.
