Asian markets settled mostly lower on Monday, while investors eyeing to the US Federal Open Market Committee meeting this week for clues on the timing of stimulus tapering. Chinese shares ended lower amid concerns over crackdowns by Beijing on the nation’s industries from tech to real estate and education firms. However, Japanese shares gained after a four-day weekend as the Olympic Games began, a year late, but concerns over surge in corona virus infections limited gains. The manufacturing sector in Japan continued to expand in July, albeit at a slower pace, the latest survey from Jibun Bank revealed on Monday with a manufacturing PMI score of 52.2, down from 52.4 in June.
