Asian markets ended mostly in green on Thursday after recent string of gains on optimism that the US and China are closer to a trade deal that would put an end to their ongoing trade war. Chinese shares ended higher as investors looked ahead to a meeting between US President Donald Trump and Chinese Vice Premier Liu He in Washington later today. Reports showed that Beijing will cut government- related fees and service charges to reduce costs for companies and individuals from July 1. Further, Japanese shares ended marginally higher, led by carmakers and cyclical shares. Though, the upside remained capped as services and private payrolls data added to recent worries about slowing growth. Meanwhile, Taiwan’s stock market closed on Thursday for the Children’s Day holiday.
