Asian markets traded mixed in early deals on Wednesday, after negative global indices saddled by the concerns over debt ceiling standoff in Washington and on softer US consumer spending. Moreover, risk aversion after sluggish Chinese economic data spurred notion that the country has lost momentum in economic rebound. Meanwhile, as per reports investment banks trimmed China's 2023 GDP projections after disappointing April data. Bucking the trend, Japan’s Nikkei extended winning streak, registering key benchmark 30,000 for the first time since September 2021 today, due to risk appetite in the market followed by robust economic data in Japan. Japan’s economy expanded more than expected in the Q1 due to a rise in consumption and on unexpected rebound in capital expenditures.
