Asian Markets ended mixed on Tuesday as investors looked ahead to the first US presidential debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden set for later in the day and also eyed progress of a fiscal stimulus package in Washington. Further, renewed concerns about a surging corona virus cases around the globe and uncertainty about the presidential election added more pressure on market sentiment. Japanese shares ended marginally higher, tracked by Wall Street’s gains overnight. However, shares in Japanese telecoms giant Nippon Telegraph & Telephone (NTT) lost 2.9 percent on reports that it is preparing for a takeover of its mobile phone carrier NTT DoCoMo. Report showed overall consumer prices in the Tokyo area were up 0.2 percent year-on-year in September. That was shy of expectations for an increase of 0.3 percent, which would have been unchanged from the August reading. South Korean shares closed higher ahead of a three-day Chuseok holiday, with lower domestic corona virus infections aiding sentiment.
