Asian markets ended mixed on Monday as investors watched for movement in the China-US trade dispute ahead of a meeting between Presidents Donald Trump and Xi Jinping planned for later this week in Osaka, Japan, at the G-20 summit. US President Donald Trump said, on June 23, he was not seeking war with Tehran and is prepared to seek a deal to bolster Iran's flagging economy in an apparent move to defuse tensions. But, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said ‘significant’ sanctions on Iran would be announced as early as Monday aimed at further choking off resources that Tehran uses to fund its activities in the region.
