Asian markets end mixed on Thursday

22 Jun 2017 Evaluate

Asian stocks closed mixed on Thursday as oil prices held steady in Asian deals after falling more than 2 percent overnight on worries over whether OPEC-led output cuts would be able to rein in a three-year glut. Chinese shares ended lower as the initial euphoria over MSCI's decision to include China's so-called A-shares in its emerging-markets index faded. Further, Japanese shares ended lower as the dollar edged away from a three-week high versus the yen.
