Asian markets ended mostly lower on Thursday, tracking weakness in Wall Street overnight on persistent inflation woes with uncertainty over early interest rate hikes by the US Federal Reserve. Chinese shares declined after embattled China Evergrande Group is set to raise about $273 million by selling its remaining shares in film production and streaming company HengTen Network Group as the cash-strapped developer struggles to avoid a default on its debts. Seoul shares dropped as the country reported its biggest daily jump in corona-virus infections since the start of the pandemic. Moreover, Japanese shares retreated in spite of reports of bigger-than-expected economic stimulus package from Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
