Asian market end mostly higher on Tuesday

10 Aug 2021 Evaluate

Asian market ended mostly higher on Tuesday ahead of US consumer inflation data due on Wednesday. Japanese shares ended slightly higher as traders returned to their desks after a long holiday weekend, while cheaper yen against the dollar and positive earnings results from Japanese companies too supported market sentiments. Chinese shares rose as more cities embarked on mass testing and local lockdowns to curb Covid-19 spread. However, South Korean shares ended lower on concerns over surging of delta variant of corona-virus cases. More talks of stimulus withdrawal by the US Federal Reserve too weighed sentiments.
