Asian markets ended mixed on Friday amid cautious trading due to continued uncertainty over Brexit as well as lingering Sino-US trade tensions. Chinese shares ended higher ahead of high-level trade talks later in the day. Reports showed top US and Chinese trade officials will discuss plans for China to buy more American farm products, but in return, Beijing will request cancellation of some planned and existing US tariffs on Chinese imports. Meanwhile, Japanese shares ended higher as semiconductor-related stocks surged after the release of some positive earnings from overseas tech companies, but underlying sentiment remained somewhat cautious after Japan's Trade Minister Isshu Sugawara resigned following allegations of election law violations.
