Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday as investors' risk appetite was improved by renewed optimism surrounding stimulus negotiations in the United States with reports that US President Donald Trump returned to the White House after being treated for corona virus for three days at the hospital. Data showed the US services sector grew for a fourth consecutive month in September as the country attempts to re-open from earlier corona virus shutdowns, too supported market sentiment. Meanwhile, markets in China were closed for the National Day holiday.
