Asian markets ended mostly higher on Thursday as easing concerns about US political risks after US President Donald Trump's comments suggesting a trade deal with China could happen sooner than expected. Japanese shares gained slightly after the US and Japan have signed a limited trade deal, under which Japan will open new markets to about $7 billion in US agricultural products. Though, some positive mood faded and Chinese shares ended lower as Trump's repeated mixed messages about trade negotiations caused investors to curb their enthusiasm.
