Asian markets ended mostly higher on Friday. Japanese shares closed higher by tracking gains in Wall Street overnight with prospect of more fiscal stimulus to support a pandemic damaged US economy, while investors are keeping an eye on the US presidential election. US President Donald Trump and Democratic challenger Joe Biden offered sharply contrasting views on the still-raging corona virus pandemic at the final presidential debate, ahead of the November 3 election. South Korean shares ended higher on optimism for improved corporate earnings in the third quarter. However, concerns about a continued surge in corona virus cases in several parts of Europe and the United States, capped some gains.
