Asian equity markets ended mostly in green on the final trading day of 2017 Friday after Wall Street finished with modest gains. Crude oil and copper prices stayed firm - the former still hovering at 30-month high - but equities never really find any great support in the final week of the year and stock price movements in most of the markets in Asia stayed sluggish. Chinese shares ended higher, capping a strong year of gains as domestic and global investors increased their exposure to mainland markets despite worries about a slowing economy and further regulatory crackdowns. However, Japan’s Nikkei share average ended slightly lower, but the index still gained nearly 20 percent in 2017.
