Asian Stocks Dive as Central Bank Meetings Loom, China Slumps

Asian stock markets tumbled on Tuesday, erasing earlier gains, as investor sentiment turned cautious ahead of crucial central bank policy meetings in Japan and the United States.

Central Bank Jitters:

• BOJ in Focus: Investors remain on edge regarding the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) upcoming policy decision. While a rate hike is considered unlikely, speculation swirls about a potential shift in the bank's quantitative easing (QE) program. Any indication of tapering QE could trigger further market volatility.
• Fed Meeting Looms: The upcoming Federal Reserve meeting also adds to the uncertainty. Investors are keenly focused on the Fed's stance on future interest rate hikes as they grapple with rising inflation concerns.

China Lags:

• Stocks Hit 6-Month Low: Chinese equities led the decline, with local benchmarks slipping to their lowest levels in six months. This slump reflects ongoing worries about the slowing pace of China's economic recovery.
