Asian markets ended lower on Tuesday tracking Wall Street’s overnight losses and concerns over surging of the Delta coronavirus variant that could threaten the outlook for economic recovery. Further, rising tensions between China and the West also dented market sentiment. Chinese shares ended marginally lower after Chinese central bank PBoC kept its July loan prime rate (LPR) unchanged. Japanese shares ended lower as concerns grew over the corona-virus surge ahead of a four-day weekend from Thursday, with the Tokyo Olympics opening on Friday. Markets in Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia are closed on account of Eid-ul-Adha.
