Asian markets end mostly higher on Tuesday

04 Jun 2013 Evaluate

Asian markets end mostly higher on Tuesday, as weak US data weighed on investors’ buying sentiments. Japan’s Nikkei went home with green mark and enjoyed a bounce after the previous day's tumble, as investors scooped up battered stocks such as financials, which had fallen from recent peaks into bear market territory. Shanghai shares closed lower, weighed down by realty stocks.
