Asian markets ended mostly lower on Friday amid concerns over spread of the delta variant corona-virus globally. Japan’s capital, Tokyo's virus advisory board described the infection situation in the city as uncontrollable. Chinese shares settled lower as Chinese semiconductor stocks fell after sharp gains, while the Chinese government has unveiled a five-year and 10-point plan outlining tighter regulation of its economy. Also, China partially shut down the world’s third-busiest container port after a worker was infected with Covid-19, that threatened to severely disrupt global commerce. Hong Kong shares ended down after the Shanghai Stock Exchange said it would remove top chipmaker SMIC from an index of eligible Shanghai stocks under the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect.
