Asian markets ended mixed on Wednesday as investors were still worried over euro zone debt crisis after European officials failed to reach a deal on a bailout for Greece. Meanwhile, fears on the US fiscal cliff remained in focus after the Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke warning over the looming economic condition. China's Shanghai Composite went home with green mark reversing early losses, while Hong Kong's market closed in positive territory on signs of a Chinese recovery. However, Seoul shares erased early gains to end lower after Greek aid talks ended inconclusively.
