Asian stocks ended mostly in green on Wednesday, as oil extended overnight gains, while the dollar held steady against the yen and the highly anticipated Chinese economic data came along expected lines. Japanese shares ended higher, taking cues from a bounce in Wall Street shares and as investors looked ahead to a slew of corporate earnings results next week. Meanwhile, Chinese shares closed on a flat note even as a barrage of data showed fresh signs of stability in the world's second-largest economy. China's GDP expanded at an annual 6.7 percent in the third quarter of 2016 - in line with expectations and unchanged from the Q2 reading. Industrial output gained an annual 6.1 percent in September - shy of forecasts for 6.4 percent and down from 6.3 percent in August, while retail sales and fixed asset investment growth matched forecasts.
