Most of the Asian Markets traded lower in early deals of Wednesday, as the market sentiment dampened amid woes over shooting energy rates in midst of Russia-Ukraine war and sanctions imposed by the US and several Western countries on Russia. Russia is in a large-scale military invasion of Ukraine, one of its neighbours to the southwest, marking an escalation to a conflict that began in 2014. Japanese stocks tumbled in line with the negative trend in Wall Street and as the US crude futures hit its highest level in seven years as Russia continued its assault on Ukraine, stoking market volatility and clouding the outlook for inflation and monetary policy. Chinese shares also extended its losses from previous session with the risk aversion surrounding geo political tensions.
