Asian markets ended mostly in green on Wednesday, carrying over the momentum from the late surge in US stocks. The lull in the US-China trade conflict has prompted safe-haven assets to unwind recent gains. Hong Kong stocks edged higher after the Hong Kong Stock Exchange said it has started talks to buy the London Stock Exchange that would value the British company at $36.6 billion. Moreover, the investors await a handful of central bank meetings. Fed Chairman Jerome Powell recently repeated his pledge to do whatever it takes to keep the US economy growing. The comments were widely seen as a signal that policymakers are likely to cut rates again. At the Fed's July meeting, policymakers cut rates for the first time since 2008. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank will meet later this week. Markets are waiting to see whether the ECB will release more stimulus to boost the slowing Eurozone economy.
