Asian markets have got a subdued start on Thursday, weighed down by the weak export number from Japan, though the government there announced stimulus measures with bank of Japan saying that it would expand its asset-purchase fund by $126 billion, but the Finance Ministry reported that nation’s exports declined 5.8 percent in August from a year earlier. There were some positive news too, from the region but they were unable to lift the markets, New Zealand’s economy grew faster than estimated and China’s manufacturing activity in September expanded marginally to 47.8, from 47.6 in August.
