Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower in the early deals on Tuesday, supported by record highs on Wall Street but hobbled by uncertainty as traders awaited a Federal Reserve meeting for clues on US monetary policy. Though, Japan’s Nikkei share average rose to 2-1/2 month highs as investor confidence was boosted by a weakening yen and strong US shares, lifting cyclical stocks such as exporters and financial companies. Among the other Asian markets, Shanghai, Singapore, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, Hong Kong and Taiwan are lower.
