KUALA LUMPUR (Nov 15): Asian markets mostly ended lower on Tuesday, Nov 15 while European equities fell as relief from the formation of technocrat-led governments in Italy and Greece fizzled out.
The decline in Europe came about as investors' renewed selling of Italian and Spanish bonds, while a sharp rise in French yields pointed to a growing risk that the two-year debt crisis may spread to one of the region's big two economies, according to Reuters.
The FBM KLCI closed 1.65 points lower at 1,477.22.
