Asian markets finish mostly in green on Thursday

Asian markets finished mostly in green on Thursday, as the ultra-dovish stance of US Federal Reserve after its  latest monetary policy meeting despite massive stimulus packages and a rising US Treasury yields reaffirmed chance of a swift economic recovery. Shanghai shares finished higher with the major gains from the healthcare sector amid ramp-up of vaccination efforts in the country due to spread of new variant covid-19. China reported 24 new Covid-19 cases on April 7, with 11 of the new cases were local infections reported in the southwestern Yunnan province. The country had administered a total of 149.07 million Covid-19 vaccine doses, as of Wednesday.
