Asian markets ended mostly lower on Thursday as concerns over continued spike in global corona virus cases and lockdown measures kept the sentiment under pressure. However, the US Federal Reserve’s commitment to continue its asset purchase program and progress toward a $900 billion corona virus relief deal, capped some losses on the markets. Japanese shares ended marginally higher despite pressure from a stronger yen. Japan Post Insurance shares surged on private report said that it would buy back $2.9 billion of its own shares from its parent Japan Post Holdings. Chinese shares climbed on growing optimism over swift recovery in the world's second-largest economy.
