Most Asian stock closed lower after the inflation data from China. Chinese consumer price index climbed 2% from a year earlier in August, missing forecasts for a 2.2% rise, after a 2.3% gain in July. The government's annual target is 3.5%.

Japanese stocks were driven by the weaker yen.

The BSI manufacturing index for Japan climbed to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 12.7 in the third quarter from a decline of 13.9% in the previous quarter. Analysts had expected the index to increase to -10.3.
