Asian markets ended mixed on Tuesday as market sentiments remained cautious about China's economic slowdown from lockdowns, despite the Chinese authorities pledged support for businesses hit by the worst Covid-19 outbreak in two years. Hong Kong shares declined, driven by technology shares after Chinese authorities announced a ban on the livestreaming of unapproved video games. Meanwhile, Japan shares ended higher on the back of a plummeting yen.
