Stocks in Asia edged higher on Wednesday following a late rally in US shares in a volatile session after Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell rebuffed an opportunity to tamp down investor optimism.

Equities in Australia and South Korea advanced to push a region-wide benchmark of shares higher despite fluctuating trading in Hong Kong, mainland China and Japanese shares. US futures were largely flat after the S&P 500 advanced more than 1% Tuesday. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 outperformed major benchmarks, climbing more than 2%.in Treasuries on Tuesday, which partly reversed in early Wednesday trading. An index of the dollar was steady after its fall on Tuesday snapped a three-day rally.

Powell’s sober comments echoed those made after last week’s FOMC meeting, soothing traders who were expecting the Fed chief to push back on the loosening of financial conditions and Friday’s bumper jobs report. Powell highlighted that disinflation has begun, and that further hikes will likely be needed if the jobs market remains strong.raise interest rates
