"This upcoming release is arguably the most critical economic print of the year," said Stephen Innes at SPI Asset Management. Investors are now expecting about 60 basis points of cuts this year -- suggesting just two reductions -- with a less than 50 percent chance of three, according to Bloomberg News.

Tokyo rose on a weaker yen, which is approaching the 152-per-dollar level many think could spark an intervention by Japanese authorities. But JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon warned Wall Street markets were overvalued and said "persistent inflationary pressures" could see borrowing costs go higher.Hong Kong - Hang Seng Index: UP 1.0 percent at 16,905.96West Texas Intermediate: UP 0.4 percent at $86.75 per barrelNew York - Dow: FLAT at 38,892.
