Asian markets end mostly in green on Tuesday

21 Nov 2017 Evaluate

Asian equity markets ended mostly in green on Tuesday as overnight gains on Wall Street and solid economic data from Germany and the US helped investors shrug off renewed worries over political uncertainty in Germany. Japanese shares rose notably as the greenback remained supported by higher US bond yields. Japanese stocks improved further after large cap stocks such as automakers and manufacturers of factory automation equipment rallied, while North Korean tensions supported defence-related shares.
