Asian equity markets ended mixed on Wednesday. Trading volumes were light across the region, despite an overnight rally in Brent crude oil prices driving up US stocks. Japanese stocks ended up on last trading day of 2015, as the dollar steadied at mid-120 yen range on optimism over the world's largest economy. Japanese markets are closed for a public holiday on 31 December. China stocks reversed initial losses to end slightly higher, helped by a late rally in banking shares. However, activity was thin as traders awaited manufacturing activity surveys for December, which are expected to show the economy remains sluggish. Hong Kong stocks fell in thin trading, undermined by selling in energy and financial shares, amid lingering worries about China's economy.
