Asian shares experienced mostly positive movements on Thursday in thin trading following the Christmas holiday, with Japan's Nikkei 225 index leading the way up by 1.1% due to gains in retail and tourism stocks. Meanwhile, oil prices also increased, and the U.S. markets were set to reopen with an expected update on unemployment benefits. Despite some losses in the South Korean and Thai markets, overall sentiment remained optimistic as U.S. markets appear strong going into the new year.
