Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday as a new round of peace talks between Russia and Ukraine began in Turkey, which raised expectations of progress in ending a war that has devolved into a violent attrition battle. Japanese shares gained after the BOJ vowed to defend a key yield cap, offering to buy unlimited government bonds for the first four days of this week in the face of growing inflationary pressures. However, Chinese shares declined as a tightening Covid-19 lockdown in China’s financial hub Shanghai weighed on growth outlook for the world’s second-largest economy. Meanwhile, State-owned Securities Times indicated that the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) could reduce bank reserve requirements to support credit expansion and boost economic growth.
