Asia markets slip as traders eye busy week

Asian markets sank again Monday after losses on Wall Street and in Europe, with oil prices down and the yen recovering some of the losses suffered at the end of last week. Dealers moved cautiously at the start of a busy week that includes policy meetings at the US Federal Reserve and Bank of Japan as well as earnings reports from big-name firms including Sony and Nintendo. Among the firms dragged into the crisis are Japan's Nissan, France's Renault and Italy's Fiat.
