Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday tracking strength in Wall Street's tech sector overnight after Elon Musk disclosed that he bought a chunk of Twitter Inc. stock, while trading volumes were thin due to public holidays in China, Hong Kong and Taiwan. Investors are awaiting the US Federal Reserve's minutes from its March meeting, set to be released on Wednesday. Japanese shares gained marginally, supported by improved services and household spending data. However, some gains were limited by talks of more sanctions against Russia and rising crude oil prices.
