Weak trend on Wall Street in the previous session with the tepidness in technological shares also weighed on the investments. The Japanese market is closed for a holiday. China’s Shanghai is trading weaker due to profit booking and on dulled sentiments after the country left its benchmark lending rate unchanged.
