Asian markets mostly traded higher on Friday, the last trading session of the week, tracking gains on Wall Street as investors took cues from the upbeat US session following the Federal Reserve's latest rate decision.
US stocks rebounded on Thursday as oil prices edged lower and a Fed rate hike on Wednesday offered some relief that the central bank was working to contain inflation.
Here's a table showing how US stocks performed on Thursday:
