Asian equity markets closed mixed on Wednesday, as the dollar weakened against the yen after the release of emails by US President Donald Trump's son that cited Russian support for his father's 2016 presidential campaign. Underlying sentiment remained somewhat cautious ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen's Congressional testimony later in the day and on Thursday. Meanwhile, a fresh rally in oil prices boosted energy stocks. Japanese shares ended lower as the yen strengthened in the wake of a fresh twist in the Trump campaign's alleged links with Russia.
