Asian equities were mixed on Wednesday, following a rally to a six-week high, as investors assessed prospects for global policy makers to arrest a slowdown in growth.
The pound and U.K. stock futures fluctuated, paring losses, in advance of a no-confidence vote in British Prime Minister Theresa May following the crushing defeat of her Brexit deal. Japanese equities led losses in Asia, with mixed performances among other benchmarks. U.S. futures gained after the S&P 500 Index climbed the most in a week Tuesday following China’s plans for boosting spending through tax cuts. The 10-year Treasury yield held at 2.71 percent, while oil traded around $52 a barrel in New York.
