Asian markets extended losses and ended lower on Wednesday tracking losses in Europe and on Wall Street after a third straight monthly contraction in US manufacturing activity. Meanwhile, poor numbers on factory activity from Asia and Europe also pressurized the market but investors still hopeful towards a European Central Bank meeting, for new measures to fight the lingering debt crisis. However, China, a major global growth driver, saw its manufacturing activity fall to its lowest level in more than three years in August.
