STOCKS: Asian indices were mixed on Wednesday as the spectre of US-Iranian
tensions hung over the space.
- The Nikkei 225 lost 0.4%, as the health care sector provided the largest drag,
while the energy sector was the largest gainer.
- The Hang Seng added 0.5% as energy names led the way higher, while telecoms
provided the largest drag.
- The ASX 200 added 0.2% as IT names lodged the largest gains, while utilities
provided the largest drag. It is worth noting that the banking giant CBA fell
after its latest quarterly earnings report provided disappointing reading.
- US index futures traded around neutral levels.
