Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday despite the overnight gains on Wall Street after the US temporarily eased trade restrictions on Chinese telecom giant Huawei. Investors are also cautious as they look ahead to the release of minutes of the US Federal Reserve's latest monetary policy meeting later in the day. Chinese shares ended down as trade tensions continued to linger. While, Japanese shares ended largely unchanged after the New York Times reported that the Trump administration is considering placing limits to Chinese video surveillance firm Hikvision's ability to buy US technology.
