Asian Markets

Asian shares fell on Tuesday and the euro slipped back to six-and-half month lows as early elections loomed in Italy, but a revival in diplomatic talks with North Korea and a retreat in oil prices from recent highs supported sentiment.

 

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan dipped 0.3 per cent after three consecutive sessions of gains. Japan's Nikkei skidded 0.8 per cent while South Korean shares slipped 0.5 per cent. Liquidity is expected to be relatively thin with market holidays in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand.
