Asian equity markets closed mostly higher on Wednesday as Apple reported better-than-expected financial results and weak US personal income and manufacturing data helped investors pare back their expectations for rate increases this year. Japanese shares hit a 1-1/2-week high as solid quarterly results from domestic companies helped offset concerns over a rising yen. However, Chinese shares ended lower, with continued strength in materials shares offset by weakness in small-cap firms.
