Asian markets ended mostly higher on Friday, tracking gains on Wall Street overnight after U.S. regulators eased bank rules that will free up billions of capital. The news helped offset worries about a continued surge in coronavirus cases in the United States. Though, Hong Kong shares ended lower as the US Senate passed a bipartisan bill by unanimous consent that would impose sanctions on China for its decision to implement national security laws in Hong Kong and Macau. Meanwhile, markets in Taiwan and China were closed for the Dragon Boat Festival.
