Asian markets are exhibiting mixed trend in the early deals on Tuesday as markets awaited the upcoming Federal Market Open Committee (FOMC) meeting and kept an eye on the dollar amid greater uncertainty over the White House's ability to pass key policy proposals. The Japanese market is lower due to the mixed cues overnight from Wall Street, with sentiments bolstered by a weaker yen. Investors are cautious ahead of the Federal Reserve's monetary policy announcement on Wednesday. Meanwhile, China stocks eased as blue chips paused for breath after their recent strong rally, and as a fresh pledge by Beijing to prevent 'systemic' financial risks reignited fears of tighter regulations. Among the other Asian markets, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia are all modestly higher. Bucking the trend, South Korea, and Indonesia are edging lower.
