Asian markets settled mostly lower on Thursday ahead of next week's US Federal Reserve meeting for more clues on tapering of its bond-buying programs. Chinese shares ended lower, with property stocks declined as Chinese property giant Evergrande Group appeared likely to be unable to repay all of the $89 billion it owes banks and other bondholders. Hong Kong shares hit by heavy declines in the technology and casino sectors. Japanese shares ended lower on profit booking after a recent rally that was led by massive foreign inflows on expectations for fresh economic stimulus under new political leadership, while weak exports data for August also weighing on market sentiments.
