Asian markets ended mostly lower on Friday as concerns about the health of European banks further threatened a global economy already under strain from falling oil prices and slowdowns in China and other emerging markets. Japanese shares stumbled to a fresh 16-month low in heavy trade and posted the biggest weekly drop since 2008 as investors scrambled to dump risky assets after the dollar dived to a 15-month low against the yen. The markets in China and Taiwan remained closed for the Lunar New Year holiday.
