Asian markets ended mixed Tuesday as caution over Europe's debt woes persisted, with attention shifting to Italy, while Tokyo shares were weighed down by a 29% plunge in Olympus shares after the company admitted covering up huge investment losses.
"Italy is a much bigger issue for markets than Greece, and uncertainty there doesn't bode well for risk assets in the short term," said Justin Gallagher , head of domestic sales trading and execution at RBS. "The market was hoping Italy would take care of itself but that's clearly not the case." (WSJ)
