Asian stocks put in a mixed performance Tuesday ahead of the highly anticipated Federal Reserve meeting, while Treasury yields dipped and the yen edged up.
Stocks slid in Japan, rose in Australia, Hong Kong and South Korea, and were little changed in Shanghai. Investor focus remained firmly on the Fed’s statement and press conference Wednesday to see whether Chairman Jerome Powell and his colleagues will validate widespread expectations for interest-rate cuts. There was little cue from Wall Street’s Monday trading, when the S&P 500 Index closed flat, though tech stocks did send the Nasdaq 100 higher.
