The Hang Seng in Hong Kong shed 0.8% to 21,037.19.Jakarta advanced while New Zealand and other Southeast Asia markets declined. Fed officials indicated in minutes from last month’s meeting they were considering raising the U.S. benchmark rate by double the normal amount at upcoming meetings. They also indicated they would shrink the Fed’s bond holdings, which would push up long-term borrowing rates.
