Asian markets

Asian stocks were little changed after two days of gains as investors awaited a near certain interest rate hike in the US.

The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was up by less than 0.1 per cent as of 3:18 p.m. in Hong Kong after rising on Monday and on Tuesday. The gauge was down as much as 0.3 per cent earlier as a tweet from US President Donald Trump, who said he is working on a “new system where there will be competition in the drug industry,” weighed on regional pharmaceutical shares.

“Optimism has been put in check with the prospect of higher interest rates,” said Jemmy Paul, investment director at PT Sucorinvest Asset Management in Jakarta. “Trump’s tweet also reminds us of the risk that companies in other industries are facing, especially those who are exposed to US markets.”

Still, the Asia-Pacific index is near its highest price-to-book ratio in two years. Investors have pushed up the value of global equities toward $71 trillion in a post-US election rally amid optimism Trump can boost growth with spending projects and lower taxes. The US Federal Reserve is set to meet next week.

Stocks in Japan were lower after Trump’s comments. Shanghai stocks were little changed before trade data showed February imports surged. The results were skewed because of the week-long Lunar New Year holiday.
