Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading higher on Wednesday, on account of optimism in the market after crude oil rates pulled back followed by the reports that Saudi Arabian oil production would return to normal within two-to-three weeks. Saudi Arabia's biggest oil processing facility was been attacked on weekends. Furthermore, investments were propped up by anticipations about a trim in interest rate ahead to the Federal Reserve's policy announcement later in the day. However, Japan's Nikkei is in negative trend despite a slightly lower yen. Among the other Asian markets, Shanghai, Hong Kong, South Korea, Taiwan and Indonesia are in positive lead. Bucking the trend, Singapore, and Malaysia are in negative territory.
Hang Seng up 7.29 points or 0.03% to 26,797.53, Taiwan Weighted rose 58.38 points or 0.54% to 10,932.88, KOSPI Index increases 9.05 points or 0.44% to 2,071.38, and Jakarta Composite higher by 18.00 points or 0.29% to 6,254.69, and Shanghai widen by 11.63 points 0.39% to 2,989.75.
