Asian markets ended lower on Tuesday tracking overnight fall in Wall Street and following caution ahead of the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision. Chinese shares fell, even after the International Monetary Fund said that Chinese economic growth will rebound to 5.2 percent this year as activity and mobility recover due to easing of Covid-19 restrictions. Meanwhile, Japanese shares slipped led by losses in technology and financial shares.
