Asian markets ended mostly lower on Thursday, following sell-off on Wall Street overnight on renewed concerns over slowing global economic recovery due to resurgence of corona virus pandemic infections. Further, uncertainties surrounding the US presidential elections and economic warnings from US Federal Reserve officials also dampened investor sentiment. 'The US economy is recovering very robustly, but we are still in a deep hole,' said US Federal Vice Chairman Richard Clarida. South Korean shares plunged to hit over one-month low as tensions on the Korean Peninsula reignited and after reports that South Korea’s defense ministry said North Korea had killed a missing official from the South earlier this week. It marked the first time since July 2008 that a South Korean civilian has been shot dead in North Korea.
