Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower on Tuesday, amid optimism about global economic growth followed by the US Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin's affirmation that US-China trade talks will resume in two weeks. However, market sentiments were weak after the release of disappointing European economic data. Japan's Nikkei, which resumed trading after a holiday on Monday, is advancing despite the mixed cues overnight from Wall Street. Among the other Asian markets, Shanghai, Hong Kong, South Korea, and Singapore are in positive territory. Bucking the trend, Taiwan Indonesia and Malaysia are trading lower.
