Asian markets ended in red on Monday after trade talks between the United States and China ended without a resolution last week and US President Donald Trump on Sunday defended his tariff policy, saying ‘we are right where we want to be with China’. Chinese shares ended lower as investors await Beijing's next move on the trade front. Meanwhile, the Hong Kong market was closed for a holiday.
