Asian markets mostly lower, yen edges up

Asian markets were mostly lower on Thursday, while the dollar lost early momentum against the yen despite more upbeat data from the United States.

Traders seemed broadly unimpressed by another record for the Dow on Wall Street, while better-than-expected Australian jobs numbers were not enough to keep Sydney shares in positive territory.

Tokyo edged up 0.10 per cent, although down from mid-morning highs as the strengthening yen wiped out early losses.
