Asian markets ended mostly in red on Tuesday as optimism on United States-China trade talks faded and caution set in ahead of the second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Investors also awaited Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell's testimony before Congress for fresh clues about the outlook for US interest rates. Japanese shares ended lower amid selling pressure owing to window-dressing towards the end of the fiscal year. Further, Chinese shares fell on profit taking after strong gains in the previous session.
