Asian markets settled mostly higher on Wednesday even as the market remained a bit cautious amid worries about highly contagious Delta variant of the coronavirus that are quickly spreading in Asia. Meanwhile, investors are awaited the US monthly payroll data due later in the week for further clues on the US Federal Reserve’s monetary policy moving forward. Chinese shares ended higher on surge in major tech indexes that posted biggest quarterly gains in a year on policy support from Beijing and strong earnings expectations, but gains were capped after data showed that factory and service sector activity rose the least in four months amidst outbreaks of corona-virus in select regions. However, Japanese shares dipped on concerns over the outlook of the economy.
