Asian markets traded mixed in early deals on Wednesday, as the participants struggling for direction amid woes over global economic health ahead to Federal Reserve’s monetary policy meeting next week. Fed is widely expected to skip interest rate hike this month. Meanwhile, intensified bets on Chinese economic stimulus measures amid tepid economic recovery of the country, and signs of easing Sino-US tensions lifted some indices. Japan’s Nikkei retreated after four day consecutive gains pressured mainly on profit taking. Nikkei had advanced to over three-decade highs as it attracted more foreign investments to export-oriented industries with softer local currency yen.
