Asian equity markets ended mixed on Friday after US President Donald Trump cancelled the planned historic summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and oil prices eased amid signs that Russia is willing to gradually increase output. Chinese stocks closed lower to log their worst week in more than one month as trade worries persisted. Meanwhile, Japanese shares finished marginally higher as the yen slipped from a two-week high against the dollar after the release of weak inflation data.
