Asian markets ended mostly lower on Friday, despite gains on Wall Street overnight with optimism over the global economic recovery. Chinese shares ended lower as rising Chinese inflation data stoked worries about further tightening of monetary policy. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics showed that Consumer prices in China were up 0.4 percent year-on-year in March. That exceeded expectations for an increase of 0.3 percent following the 0.2 percent contraction in the previous month. While, producer prices jumped an annual 4.4 percent in March - beating expectations for an increase of 3.5 percent and up sharply from the 1.7 percent gain a month earlier. Though, Japanese shares ended higher with expectations for a robust earnings season.
