13 Nov 2018 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mostly lower on Tuesday, although Chinese stocks rose notably after reports that China and the United States have resumed high levels talks to reduce tensions ahead of Trump-Xi meeting later this month. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang said the country needs reforms and adjustments in policies to lift growth. Japanese shares ended lower, dragged down by technology stocks after one of Apple's suppliers, Lumentum Holdings slashed its fiscal outlook for the current quarter.
