Asian equity markets ended mixed on Thursday as oil held steady, the yen weakened and investors looked ahead to the US House vote on a sweeping tax reform bill later today. Japanese shares ended higher, as buyers stepped back in for bargains following six straight days of losses, with SoftBank gaining after a report that it plans to invest as much as $25 billion in Saudi Arabia. Further, Hong Kong stocks firmed, helped by index heavyweight Tencent Holdings, which climbed to a record closing high after posting solid third-quarter results.
