Asian markets ended mostly lower on Wednesday. However, Japanese shares climbed with vaccine optimism and fading US election uncertainty, despite news that the Tokyo Metropolitan Government plans to ask restaurants that serve alcohol to shorten operating hours for three weeks amid a surge in corona virus cases. The formal start of US president-elect Joe Biden’s transition to the White House eased some of the political uncertainty.
