Asian markets traded mostly lower in early deals on Monday, with the risk aversion in the market due to persisting fears of global recession amid surging inflationary pressure, looming interest rate hikes, supply chain disruptions and persisting Russia-Ukraine war. Even though, relaxation of Covid lockdowns in China and proposed ban on Russian oil by the EU limited some losses in the session. Hong Kong index led losses in the session amid weak global cues. Meanwhile, Japan’s Nikkei advanced from previous sessional gains buoyed by the optimism after relaxation of covid related border controls in the country.
