Asian markets settled mixed in thin trade on Monday as markets in Japan, Hong Kong, mainland China and South Korea were closed for public holidays. Meanwhile, persistent uncertainty over US-China trade talks kept market sentiments mixed. US President Donald Trump said aboard Air Force One that his administration was engaged in trade talks with multiple countries, including China, with a fair trade deal being the primary objective. While he confirmed there were no immediate plans to speak directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he said discussions between US and Chinese officials were continuing.
