Asian markets finish in red on Friday, as the strong US payroll data drummed jitters that US central bank tighten monetary policy more aggressively to curb inflation. Market sentiments also dulled with the US-Sino trade tensions over semiconductors, and mounting deflation concerns ahead to next week's China inflation data. Japan's Nikkei tumbled the most among Asian indices as investors sidelined from large position taking after sluggish household spending data, and as real wages reported slide for 14 th consecutive month. Nikkei fell 2.41% for the week, retreating from Monday's 33- year high finish.
