Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday as some disappointing US data added to investor worries about global growth. Brexit-related developments and the US-China trade talks also remained on investors' radar. Japanese shares ended lower as many stocks began trading ex-dividend. Though, Chinese shares ended higher as a drop in industrial profits in the January-February period raised speculation the government might announce fresh measures to prop up growth.
