Asian markets ended mostly lower on Thursday as Brexit negotiations reached stalemate and US lawmakers failed to come to agreement over a proposed stimulus package. Japanese shares ended lower amid stalled US stimulus talks and worries about rising coronavirus cases in the US. Further, Seoul stocks ended lower on massive selling by foreign investors amid uncertainties over the quadruple expiration of key stock derivatives, including Kospi-tracking options and futures. Chinese shares ended little changed after S&P Dow Jones Indices said it would remove a total of 21 Chinese companies from its equities and bond indexes.
