Asian markets end mostly higher on Tuesday

12 Feb 2019 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday as another round of US-China trade talks got underway in Beijing and US congressional negotiators reached an agreement in principle to fund the government and avoid another shutdown ahead of a Friday midnight deadline. Chinese shares ended higher as Beijing vowed policy support for the healthcare sector. Further, Japanese shares led regional gains as markets reopened after being closed for the National Foundation Day holiday on Monday.
