Asian markets end mixed ahead of outcome of BoJ’s policy meeting

Asian markets ended the session mixed as investors remained sideways ahead of outcome of a two-day policy meeting of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) starting April 03 to see if fresh easing measures aimed at boosting the world's third biggest economy meet market expectations. Though, after a choppy start, most of the Asian counters recovered at the time of closing as Cyprus have been given two more years, until 2018, to meet the conditions of a 10 billion-euro bailout under a final agreement with euro-zone lenders, giving the island nation a bit more breathing room.
