Asian markets ended mostly down on Friday. Chinese shares declined as China announced the next step in its anti-dumping investigation into European brandy imports, and as the European Commission's provisional tariffs on Chinese-made electric vehicles took effect. Meanwhile, investors were awaiting several Chinese data due next week, including CPI and PPI numbers for June and new yuan loans. Investors were also awaiting US job data for cues on the US Federal Reserve's future policy path. Japanese shares ended almost flat note, after touching record levels on the back of a weaker yen and expectations for earnings growth.
