Asian equity indices finished the day’s trade on the mixed note on Wednesday as investors remained worried over slower global economic growth. China’s benchmark index ended down by about 0.30 percent, dragged down by materials and energy firms, as marketmen are concerned about further tightening after the central bank’s one-year bill yield rose unexpectedly at auction on Tuesday. However, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng gained about 0.40 percent, buoyed by a visit by Chinese vice Premier Li Keqiang, including a pledge to expand the role of Hong Kong as an offshore trading center for China’s yuan currency. Moreover, stock markets in Indonesia remained closed for the trade on account of Independence Day holiday.
