Asian markets settled mixed on Monday as investors avoided big bets ahead of major global central bank meetings later this week for signals on their rates policy outlook, while the US central bank Fed is expected to announce it would start tapering bond purchases at the end of its two-day meeting on Wednesday. Chinese shares ended almost flat with negative momentum as activity in China’s services sector grew at a slower pace in October as China combats Covid-19 outbreaks hitting mainly the north, while the monthly PMI by Caixin suggested that manufacturing activity grew in October compared to the previous month as demand recovered. Seoul shares gained amid strong exports in October, while Korean won declined against the US dollar. Japanese shares rose after data showing that the manufacturing sector in Japan expanded at a faster pace in October, while expectations of more fiscal stimulus in Japan after Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s Liberal Democratic Party held on to a majority in a parliamentary election too kept the market sentiments bullish.
