Asian markets ended mostly in red on Thursday as optimism over the US-Iran ceasefire faded after Iran said that some terms of the deal had been breached. Iran’s parliamentary speaker Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf accused the U.S. of breaching the ceasefire deal. He said the violations highlighted were denial of the Islamic Republic’s right to enrich uranium, Israel’s continued attacks on Lebanon and a drone’s entry into Iranian airspace. Further, rising crude oil prices also weighed on sentiments. Besides, Shanghai Composite and Hang Seng ended lower as investors were awaiting China's first-quarter inflation print due on Friday to gauge domestic demand. Meanwhile, Japanese market -- Nikkei 225 ended lower as Japan's consumer sentiment decreased in March from a nearly 7-year high in the previous month. The seasonally adjusted consumer confidence index dropped to 33.3 in March from 39.7 in February, which was the highest reading since April 2019.
