Asian markets settled mostly higher on Tuesday after reports that the United States may decide to cut some tariffs on Chinese imports in an effort to tame record-high inflation. Market sentiments improved further after report that China's services activity jumped to 54.5 -- the highest level in nearly a year in June against expected figure of 49.7, while Japan's services activity expanded at the fastest pace in over 8 years in June, that eased concerns about slowing global growth. Japanese shares gained sharply by tracking declines in US yields. However, Chinese shares declined as flare-up in Covid-19 cases rekindled fears of further lockdowns in the world’s second-largest economy.
