Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower on Wednesday, following negative cues from Wall Street overnight amid disappointing earnings data from big corporates. Moreover, market sentiments were dulled as developments on Brexit overnight meant the deadline for the UK to leave the EU would likely be delayed again. Japan's Nikkei, which resumed trading after a holiday in the previous session, is modestly higher. Among the other Asian markets, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea, Indonesia, Shanghai and Malaysia are in negative pace. However, Japan is trading higher.
