Asian markets ended mixed on Tuesday after Wall Street sank overnight ahead of the Federal Reserve's latest policy meeting minutes due this week. Japanese shares gained as the Japanese currency yen continued to weaken after the comments from several US Federal Reserve officials. San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly said it is premature to rule large-sized rate hike at the next policy meeting in December. Chinese shares rose marginally even as fresh Covid-19 outbreaks and increasing restrictions stoked growth concerns.
