Asian markets ended mostly higher on Friday following encouraging unemployment figures from the United States, the timeliest data on the US economy's health. Japanese shares advanced as data showing the October consumer inflation rate for Japan eased to an annual 0.1 percent from the previous month's 0.2 percent, and after Prime Minister Fumio Kishida unveiled a fresh stimulus package with spending worth around 56 trillion yen ($490 billion). Chinese shares gained after reports that China is expected to introduce more tax and fee reductions that could amount to more than 500 billion yuan ($78.31 billion). However, Hong Kong shares declined after Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding reported disappointing results, heightening fears about Beijing's broad regulatory crackdown and slowing growth in China.
