Asian markets ended mixed on Monday after reports suggested the United States and China are close to reaching a trade deal that could lift most or all tit-for-tat tariffs on hundreds of billions of dollars worth of each others' goods. A summit between US President Donald Trump and his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping to sign a final trade deal could happen later this month. Chinese shares ended higher as investors looked ahead to this week's session of China's ceremonial national legislature for announcements of possible economic stimulus to boost slowing growth. Further, Japanese shares closed higher after reports of substantial progress in US-China talks and amid speculation the two sides may reach a final accord later this month.
