Japan's Nikkei fell 1% at the open as a recovery from its collapse in early August runs into resistance around the 38,000 level, and more gains in the yen dented sentiment. Later on Wednesday preliminary revisions to U.S. labour data are due to be published and a large downward revision is expected, which would support cutting interest rates. On Thursday, U.S. and global purchasing managers' index surveys are due.
Interest rate futures have priced a 25 basis point U.S. rate cut next month, with a 1/3 chance of a 50 bp cut. Almost 100 bps in cuts are priced this year, and another 100 bps next year. The mood kept bond markets supported and 10-year U.S. Treasury yields nudged lower to 3.81%, while two-year yields hovered at 3.9962%.
