Asian shares markets are trading lower today after momentum in the US equities faded and Congress considered the debt accord that's needed to head off a catastrophic default.

The Nikkei is trading lower by 1.3% and the Hang Seng index is trading lower 2.3%. The Shanghai Composite is down 0.7%.

Stocks on Wall Street closed mixed on Tuesday, pressured by worries about the US lawmakers opposed to a deal to raise the US $ 31.4 trillion (tn) (about Rs 2,597.1 tn) debt ceiling, but supported by another surge in Nvidia shares that briefly lifted the chipmaker into the rare club of companies valued at US $ 1 trillion (about Rs 82.7 tn).

The Dow Jones Industrial Average ended 0.2% lower and the tech heavy Nasdaq Composite ended up 0.4%.

Here's a table showing how US stocks performed on Tuesday:
