Asian shares mixed, Crimea vote raises Russia tensions


HONG KONG: Asian markets were mixed Monday on renewed concerns over Ukraine after Crimea voted to break away from the former Soviet republic and join Russia, leading the West to warn of further sanctions against Moscow.

Investors remain cautious following a sell-off last week fuelled by weak Chinese data, while eyes are on the Federal Reserve's policy meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday to see if it will announce any more stimulus cuts.
