Asian markets ended mixed on Friday as growing worries over the prospects for the world economy prompted investors to shun equities and seek safe-haven assets. Chinese shares ended lower as President Xi's highly anticipated speech on four decades of reforms as well as fresh monetary support measures announced by the People's Bank of China failed to ease investor concerns over slowing economic growth. Further, Japanese shares extended losses to close at a fresh 15-month low as the yen held gains on safe-haven demand amid rising borrowing costs in the US, political brinkmanship in Washington and fears of a slowing global economy.
