Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading in red in early deals on Thursday, due to the worries that global economy is close to recessionary condition amid slow to end trade tensions between two economic superpowers and intensifying tensions in the Middle East after two oil tankers were attacked in the Gulf of Oman. Though, Japanese Nikkei is trading in positive following modest gains overnight from Wall Street. Among the other Asian markets, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shanghai, Indonesia and Malaysia, are trading lower. However, Singapore is in positive.
