Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower on Friday, as market sentiments got weighed following fears of a global economic slowdown and as concerns surfaced over possible risks to a new Brexit deal. Sentiments also got dampened after the release of data that showed China's economic growth in the third quarter was at its slowest pace in nearly three decades. However, Japanese market is advancing in line with the positive cues from US stocks amid reports that UK and European Union negotiators reached a last-minute Brexit deal. Among the other Asian markets, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Shanghai and Malaysia are in negative pace. However, Japan and Indonesia are trading higher.
