However late Asian market sees a different picture painted as key indices from major markets such as Singapore, China & Hong Kong were trading in red while indices from Japanese and Indian markets were trading positive. The negative outcome in Chinese, Hong Kong and Singapore equities could be viewed as influence from Wall Street which took a bearish plunge yesterday owing to increasing tension between west and Saudi Arabia.
