Asian equity markets made a mixed closing on Thursday as market participants awaited the US government's non-farm payrolls report due out Friday for further clues as to the timing of the next rate rise. Meanwhile, falling oil prices coupled with worries about Catalonia's independence vote from Spain kept investors’ appetite in check. Japanese shares ended little changed near two-year highs as the yen strengthened slightly versus the greenback. Markets in South Korea and China were closed for the Harvest Festival and National Day holidays, respectively. Hong Kong also remained closed for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
