Asian markets ended mostly in green on Wednesday as investors awaited the United States Federal Reserve's monetary policy decision as well as the accompanying policy statement for clues about the outlook for interest rates. The Nikkei average rose as the dollar largely stuck to tight ranges ahead of the FOMC decision due tonight. Meanwhile, China stocks closed higher as global index provider MSCI said it will consider quadrupling the weighting of Chinese big-caps in its global benchmarks and as FTSE Russell is expected to include Chinese shares in its benchmark this week. The South Korean market remained closed for Chuseok Day holiday.
