Asian markets settled mostly lower on Friday, tracking negative close on the Wall Street overnight on worries about the rapid spread of delta variant of Covid-19 across the world and as disappointing jobless claims data added to concerns about the US economic outlook. Japanese shares ended lower on concerns over a slowing economic recovery after the country declared a state of emergency in Tokyo to contain a resurgence of a fresh wave of Covid-19 infections. Chinese shares ended lower as major US shares index removed more Chinese companies from its index after an updated US executive order barring domestic investment in firms with alleged ties to China's military.
