Asian markets ended higher on Thursday in spite of concerns over the impact of the lockdowns in China and the interest rate hardening worldwide. Chinese shares rose as policy makers stepped up efforts to bolster the economy. Moreover, Japanese shares also rebounded after reports showed Japan's industrial production in the fiscal year 2021 grew at a record 5.8% after being hit by the downside effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, while retail sales rose 0.9% in March from a year earlier, rebounding from the previous month's drop.
