Asian Markets Were Mostly Subdued On Thursday, Taking The Lead

Asian markets were mostly subdued on Thursday, taking the lead from a quiet overnight session on Wall Street. U.S. stocks had closed narrowly mixed in the lead up to Thanksgiving as investors parsed through minutes from the U.S. central bank.

Down Under, the S&P/ASX 200 shed 0.07 percent. The energy and materials sub-indexes led gains in the broader market after commodity prices strengthened overnight. Those gains, however, were offset by losses in the utilities and consumer discretionary sub-indexes.

South Korea's benchmark Kospi index edged down 0.07 percent after markets opened an hour later on Thursday due to a nationwide university entrance exam. Blue-chip tech plays slipped, but several prominent manufacturing names climbed: Samsung Electronics fell 0.93 percent and Posco rose 1.44 percent.
