Asian equity indices are exhibiting mixed trade in early deals on Wednesday, with investors mostly treading cautiously, hampered by expectations of further reductions in the US Federal Reserve's stimulus. Japanese markets were trading lower by around a percentage point ahead of the conclusion of the central bank’s monetary policy meeting. However, Chinese benchmarks edged higher by over one and a half percent, as cash rates in the mainland eased further after the Chinese central bank offered funds earlier this week to ease a cash squeeze.
