The index, which fell nearly 20% last year, is up about 11% so far this month and is on course for its best-ever January performance. Japan’s Nikkei rose 0.07%.

Futures are pricing in a 94.7% probability of a 25 basis point hike next Wednesday and see the Fed’s overnight rate at 4.45% by next December, or lower than the 5.1% rate Fed officials have projected into next year.
