The performance in Asia was mixed despite a triple-digit point gain for the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA +0.73% overnight.
Trading in the U.S. and other global markets has been volatile, as investors remain focused on the Federal Open Market Committee policy decision Wednesday, which investors are hoping will provide clues on how long the Fed will maintain its $85-billion-a-month in bond purchases.
