The Asia-Pacific markets opened Wednesday on Wednesday on Wednesday on Wall Street before a potential closure of the United States government while legislators continue to struggle on the details of a second bill for temporary spending.
In Japan, the Bank of Japan published the results of its Tankan survey in the third quarter. The Tankan survey measures the feeling of businesses among Japanese companies and is closely monitored by Boj.
The commercial optimism index among the major Japanese manufacturers increased to +14 for the third quarter, against +13 during the previous quarter, but was lower than the +15 expected by the economists interviewed by Reuters. The non -manufacturing index keeps stable at +34.
A positive figure on the tankan indicates that optimists are more numerous than pessimists, and vice versa.
