Asian markets end mostly in green on Tuesday

11 Jul 2017 Evaluate

Asian equity markets ended mostly in green on Tuesday as investors awaited cues from the US corporate earnings season as well as Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's semi-annual testimony before Congress on Wednesday and Thursday. Japanese shares rose to finish near two-week highs as the dollar hit a four-month high versus the yen, helping bolster exporters' shares. Tech shares also witnessed good buying following the strong Nasdaq performance overnight. Meanwhile, Chinese shares ended slightly lower amid selling in small-cap stocks on concerns over tight liquidity conditions.
