The Asian markets have made a mixed start with only few of the indices trading in green; there is cautiousness in the regional markets due to European debt crisis and worsening dispute between Japan and China. It is being said that the worst diplomatic crisis between China and Japan since 2005 is putting at risk a trade relationship that’s tripled in the past decade to more than $340 billion. Shares of automakers fell in Tokyo after protesters called for boycotts of Japanese goods, Toyota Motor Corp, Honda Motor Co and Nissan Motor Co. halted production at some plants in China. The Chinese market has declined despite the report that China’s new home prices rose in fewer cities in August, reducing concerns that the government may issue new tightening measures.
