Asian markets end mixed on Wednesday

21 Nov 2018 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mixed on Wednesday, with Chinese and Hong Kong markets finishing modestly higher while markets elsewhere across the region closed mostly lower on worries about corporate earnings and slowing global growth. Japanese shares ended modestly lower after reaching three-week lows earlier in the day amid falling oil prices and worries about weak global growth.
