Asian equity markets are exhibiting mixed trend in early morning deals on Thursday amid concerns about the US government shutdown and weak private sector jobs data. After an early setback and a subsequent smart recovery that resulted in a brief spell in positive territory, the Japanese market retreated on lack of support and was trading marginally lower in morning session. A stronger yen and the overnight weak close on Wall Street set up a weak start for the market.
