Asian stock indices traded mixed. Japanese stocks climbed at the beginning of the session taking a lead from Wall Street, but declined later amid a stronger yen, which is unfavorable for exporters. The yen rose against the U.S. dollar to the highest level since October 15 as risk sentiment declined after Chinese authorities set the exchange rate of the yuan lower.
