Asian markets end in green on Tuesday

25 Apr 2017 Evaluate

Asian equity markets ended in green on Tuesday as European political risks faded and oil prices rebounded after six consecutive sessions of losses. Meanwhile, investors kept a wary eye on North Korea as the country celebrates the 85th anniversary of the Korean People's Army, amid signs Pyongyang could soon conduct another nuclear test in defiance of United Nations sanctions. Japanese shares ended higher as the yen weakened amid easing fears over the risk of a French exit from the currency union. Chinese shares steadied after steep losses the previous day amid concerns over the regulatory crackdown on shadow banking.
