Asian equity markets ended higher on Tuesday as most markets resumed trading after a long holiday weekend. While overnight gains in European markets, higher oil prices and upbeat factory activity data out of China supported underlying sentiment, though trading volumes remained thin amid the New Year holidays in Tokyo and New Zealand. The dollar pulled back slightly in Asian deals after seeing its biggest single-day gain in more than two weeks on Monday. Chinese shares ended higher after a private survey showed factory activity in mainland China picked up in December, a sign of improving health for the world’s second-largest economy. The China Caixin manufacturing Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) climbed to 51.9 in December, marking its fastest rate of improvement in three years, up from November's 50.9. Markets in Japan were closed for the final day of an extended New Year holiday.
