Asian markets ended mostly lower on Tuesday as Brent crude climbed above $95 per barrel after early optimism surrounding a potential US-Iran peace deal was dampened by fresh US military strikes in southern Iran. Chinese shares declined as Chinese investors rushed to find alternative ways to trade overseas equities following Beijing’s launch of its most forceful crackdown on illicit cross-border stock trading to stem capital outflows. However, South Korea's Kospi extended gains to fresh record highs as trading resumed after a long holiday weekend.
