Asian markets settled on a mixed note on Thursday, tracking weakness in Wall Street indices overnight on worries about slowing US economic growth due to the fast-spreading Delta coronavirus variant. US businesses are experiencing escalating inflation that is being aggravated by a shortage of goods, the Federal Reserve said on Wednesday in its latest Beige Book. Japanese shares ended lower in line with global markets, while the Japanese government said it plans to extend Covid-19 emergency restrictions in Tokyo and other regions until the end of this month. Hong Kong shares declined on worries over Beijing’s fresh crackdown on gaming industry. However, Chinese shares advanced after data showed consumer prices in the country rose 0.8 percent year-on-year in August against expectations of an increase of 1 percent.
