Asian markets ended mostly higher on Tuesday. Japanese shares rose following the dovish stance of the new Bank of Japan governor, Kazuo Ueda, who signaled that any significant changes to monetary policy may be unlikely for now. Hong Kong's markets advanced as investors reacted to soft inflation data from China. China's consumer inflation hit an 18-monht low in March and producer price deflation deepened further, creating room for the central bank to potentially ease its monetary policy. The Kospi climbed as the Bank of Korea held its key interest rate steady at 3.5 percent for the second straight time, as widely expected, amid signs of easing inflation and rising concerns over an economic slowdown. However, Chinese shares ended flat with negative bias amid soaring tension between China and Taiwan following Taiwanese president's visit to U.S. The U.S. and the Philippines are holding their largest combat drills in decades after China conducted mock air and sea attacks off the coast of Taiwan.
