Asian equity markets made a mixed closing on Wednesday, as oil prices slipped on a stronger dollar and Fed Vice Chair Stanley Fischer's upbeat assessment of the US economy made it clear that a rate hike would be possible at the Fed's next policy meeting in September. Traders turned their attention on the all-important US jobs data due Friday after a run of strong economic data and hawkish comments from several Federal Reserve officials. The Malaysian markets were closed for the National Day holiday. Meanwhile, Japanese shares ended higher as the yen weakened and disappointing industrial output data underscored the need for more stimulus measures.
