Mixed Signals in Asia: Asian markets lacked a clear direction on Wednesday, with caution prevailing ahead of key interest rate announcements.
Global Cues: Regional stocks mirrored some gains on Wall Street, fueled by recent weak U.S. economic data that hinted at potential future interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. However, focus remains on upcoming U.S. jobs data for further guidance.
