what happened
Asian stock markets are trading mixed on Tuesday, following modestly positive signals from Wall Street, according to dpa-AFX. Support comes from hopes for resolving the Middle East conflict after reports that a Qatari delegation visited Iran to discuss de-escalation. Crude fell on the news, with December WTI down 1.27 percent at 102.00 dollars per barrel.
The Nikkei 225 rose 1.92 percent to 63,381.29, lifted by SoftBank Group, up almost 8 percent, and Advantest, up more than 10 percent. Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 0.14 percent, helped by miners and financials. Investors are also waiting for the Fed decision on Wednesday, which is widely expected to leave rates unchanged, and for Australian inflation data due tomorrow.
why it matters
Markets are watching how the Fed frames a possible December rate hike, which CME's FedWatch tool still prices at about a 10.5 percent chance. The dollar near 157 yen keeps attention on possible Japanese currency action.
