Asian markets settled mostly lower on Tuesday following tech sell-off on Wall Street overnight with worries about accelerating US inflation. Japanese shares ended lower amid concerns surrounding the nation's worsening situation of the corona-virus pandemic, while domestic firms’ lacklustre corporate earnings also adding downward pressure on market sentiments. Hong Kong shares declined as factory-gate inflation in mainland China fuelled concerns about tightening monetary policy. Reports showed Chinese consumer prices in April jumped 0.9 percent from a year ago, slightly missing the 1 percent forecast. However, the producer price index surged 6.8 percent and well above forecast of 6.5 percent.
