IN contrast with Wall Street's Monday showing, Asian equities were mostly higher despite worrying signs that this week's trade negotiations between the US and China have hit some pre-talk speed bumps.
Singapore's Straits Times Index (STI) closed at 3,110.85, adding 11.37 points or 0.4 per cent on Tuesday.
Elsewhere in the Asia-Pacific, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea all posted gains. Malaysia was little moved.
