Asia markets trade higher as investors wait on crucial Brexit vote
Asia Pacific markets mostly traded higher Tuesday despite lingering concerns over an economic slowdown in China, which dampened sentiment at the start of the week. Gains in Asia came despite declines on Wall Street overnight as the U.S. corporate earnings season kicks off. The British pound was a focus for investors as lawmakers were set to vote on U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal to leave the European Union.
