Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday following expectations of de-escalation of ongoing trade conflicts between US and China as the two nations are involved in progressive trade talks along with reports of a new Brexit deal to the European Union by the British government under the guidance of its Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. Japanese shares ended higher as Bank of Japan's quarterly tankan survey was positive with a large manufacturing diffusion index score. Among the Asian markets, Chinese and Hong Kong markets were closed for the celebrations of 70th National Day.
