Asian shares were mixed on Wednesday following a fourth-straight session oflosses on Wall Street.
Concern U.S. lawmakers will fail to arrange a budget deal preventing a government shutdown next week weighed on U.S. trade. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI) fell 0.4% and the S&P 500 Index (SPX) closed down 0.3%.
"The potential of a 2011-type fallout is burning red hot in the minds of investors," Parry International Trading managing director Gavin Parry said in Hong Kong.

The all-stock deal announced late on Tuesday values Tokyo Electron at $9.3 billion. Shares of the chip manufacturer opened up 14% in Tokyo, hitting a trading limit.
