Asian markets traded mostly higher in early deals on Wednesday, kindled by the risk appetite in the market after US Fed Chair Jerome Powell hinted on potential rate trims amidst lower inflation and weaker labour hiring. Optimism that the U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran will hold also kindled investor sentiments. Rally in automakers, financial and technology sector stocks led gains in the local indices. Significant fall of oil rates also boosted equity investments. Hang Seng advanced for the fourth straight session and is maintaining its highest level in two weeks.
