Asian markets ended mostly lower on Friday despite positive cues from Wall Street overnight. Chinese and Hong Kong shares ended lower after reports emerged that Beijing is planning hefty penalties on Didi Global for listing its shares in the US in June. However, Seoul shares ended higher with optimism for strong earnings, while the government extended virus curbs in greater Seoul for another two weeks. Market sentiments improved further by dovish signals from the European Central Bank (ECB) which helped ease concerns about the fast-growing price pressure in the global financial markets. Meanwhile, Japanese stock market is closed for a long weekend on Thursday and Friday for public holidays.
