Asian markets ended lower on Tuesday as investors concerns over new highly transmissible corona virus strain identified in the United Kingdom dented appetite for riskier assets. The new Covid-19 strain led to a shut-down of much of Britain and set off tighter restrictions in Europe. That overshadowed by $900 billion corona virus relief package from US Congress. Chinese shares closed down on concerns over persisting Sino-US tensions as the United States issued additional visa restrictions on Chinese officials over alleged human rights abuses. Japanese shares declined on profit-taking ahead of year-end holidays.
