Most of the Asian equity benchmarks are trading lower on Wednesday, as the market participants sidelined as they awaited for more cues on the US-China trade negotiations and on fears about the outlook for interest rates. Though, reports that United States might drop tariffs on Chinese imports assuaged some fears of a global recession, pared some losses in the market. Japan's Nikkei is trading higher with weaker yen, in tandem with the mixed cues from Wall Street. Among the Asian markets, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Shanghai and Malasia are in positive note. However, Singapore and South Korea are trading higher.
Jakarta Composite declined by 26.22 points or 0.42% to 6,237.93, Shanghai rose 5.65 points 0.19% to 2,985.91, Hang Seng decreased 22.38 points or 0.08% to 27,661.02, Taiwan Weighted rose 16.96 points or 0.15% to 11,627.07, and FTSE Bursa Malaysia KLCI dipped 5.87 points or 0.37% to 1,600.87.
