Asian stocks closed mostly higher on Tuesday after moving in a tight range. Markets in Hong Kong and Sydney closed early for Christmas Eve.

European stocks are slightly higher on thin volumes. Markets in German and Switzerland are closed today, while the U.K. and France will close early for Christmas Eve.
