SINGAPORE, Dec 26 (Reuters) - Asia shares eased in holiday-thinned trade on Thursday, paring some of their gains from earlier in the week, while the dollar rose alongside U.S. Treasury yields.
As the year-end approaches, trading volumes have begun thinning out and the main focus for investors remains that of the Federal Reserve's rate outlook. Markets in Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand were closed for a holiday on Thursday.
