Asian markets end mostly lower on Thursday
Sep-18-2025
Asian markets ended mostly lower on Thursday as the participants remained sidelines with the global economic slowdown fears. Technical correction in technological, manufacturing and export driven sector stocks saddled the local indices. Hawkish comments from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell dulled investor sentiments. Hang Seng tumbled in the session with the concerns about recession in China, regulatory uncertainties and capital outflows.
