Asian markets settled mostly higher on Monday despite lingering concerns over the fast-spreading Covid-19 Delta variant globally. Investors are anxiously awaiting the Federal Reserve's annual Jackson Hole conference later in the week for cues on possible asset purchase tapering timeline. Chinese shares ended higher after Chinese health authorities reported that no new local Covid-19 cases for the first time since July. Moreover, Japanese shares gained on solid corporate earnings, while auto-related stocks also rebounded from losses stoked by Toyota Motor's announcement of slashing global output by 40 percent next month on chip shortage.
