Asian markets ended mixed on Thursday as investors weighed hopes for trade talks against Donald Trump's ban on US firms from using foreign telecoms equipment, which has been seen as a kick against China, offsetting reports that US President Donald Trump plans to delay imposing tariffs on car imports from European Union by up to six months in order to allow negotiations to continue. Japanese shares ended down, with weak US and Chinese data as well as continued Sino-US trade frictions weighing on sentiment. Meanwhile, Chinese shares ended higher on expectations that the government will roll out measures to support growth amid external uncertainties.
