Asian-Pacific benchmarks finished mixed as strengthening Asian currencies against the dollar weighed on exporter issues and large industrial shares. The Nikkei slightly recovered from the steep decline Monday, helped by property stocks like Mitsubishi Estate, up 1.7% and Mitsui Fudosan, up 2%.

Across the region, South Korea’s Kospi ended flat, reversing from earlier advance on GDP data as stronger won against the dollar hurt exporter stocks.
