SINGAPORE : Asian equities edged higher on Wednesday, while the dollar steadied as investors braced for U.S. inflation data that will influence the Federal Reserve's interest rate policy.
China's stocks opened 0.1 per cent higher while Hong Kong's Hang Seng index gained 0.6 per cent at the start of the day. Investor attention will squarely be on the U.S. consumer price index , scheduled to be released on Thursday. The data is expected to show December's headline annual inflation at 6.5 per cent, versus 7.1 per cent in November.
Investors are betting that the upcoming inflation report could show further deceleration, potentially giving the Fed room to slow the pace of interest rate rises, said Stephen Wu, economist at Commonwealth Bank of Australia. JPMorgan Chase & Co Chief Executive Officer Jamie Dimon said heightened economic uncertainties might encourage the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates to 5 per cent. In the foreign exchange market, the Australian dollar was 0.3 per cent higher after data showed the annual pace of inflation had increased to 7.3 per cent in November. The New Zealand dollar rose 0.2 per cent.
