Asian markets end mostly lower on Wednesday

09 Oct 2019 Evaluate

Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday amid rising anxiety ahead of talks between the United States and China aimed at resolving the trade war between the world's two biggest economies. The US imposed visa restrictions on Chinese officials and also expanded its trade blacklist to include some of China's top artificial intelligence firms, worsening market sentiments. Meanwhile, markets in South Korea were closed today for a holiday.
