Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower on Thursday, as investors were cautious after US President Donald Trump’s speech on the trade ties with China diminished optimism for a deal and dented risk appetite. Japan's Nikkei is trading lower, with the mixed cues from Wall street overnight, and investors’ sentiment also dampened as Japan's economic growth touched a one-year low in the third quarter. Among the other Asian markets, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, and Malaysia are in lower trend. However, South Korea and Shanghai are in positive lead.
