Global Markets: Asia markets traded largely lower on Tuesday, as investors weighed renewed uncertainty over U.S.-Iran peace negotiations. U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday shrugged off the possibility that peace talks with Iran could fall apart, reportedly telling the media, I don't care if they're over, honestly.' Trump was responding to a question about reports earlier Monday that Iranian negotiators were considering ending discussions with Washington and moving to 'completely block' the Strait of Hormuz in response to Israel's military campaign in Lebanon targeting the Iran-backed Hezbollah group. When asked whether Iranian officials had informed him that they would no longer continue negotiations, Trump replied, No, they haven't.
