Asian markets were mixed this morning, with Japanese stocks striding ahead on the back of a weakened yen, which dropped to a five-year low against the greenback.
The Nikkei climbed 0.69% to settle at 22,516 after the dollar traded hands at ¥105.28, compared to ¥104.74 the previous day.
The currency was also pushed lower on a positive global outlook, ensuring the Nikkei ended the year on a high note.
Stocks in Hong Kong also put it decent gains, lifted by positive data in the US last week, with the Hang Seng driven higher by property firms.
