Nikkei & Topix Fall, Aus Markets Rise, Wall St Ends Lower After US Fed Decision; D-St To Open Flat?

Asian stocks fluctuated today after the Federal Reserve held rates unchanged, with Chair Jerome Powell saying officials were not in a hurry to lower borrowing costs.

Shares in Japan opened slightly lower, weighing down a gauge of Asian equities despite a small gain for shares in Australia. Many of the region’s equity markets including China, South Korea and Taiwan remained closed for the Lunar New Year holiday.

Gift Nifty was trading around 23,150 level, a premium of nearly 2 points from the Nifty futures’ previous close, indicating a muted start for the Indian stock market indices.

U.S. stock indexes slipped on Wednesday after the Federal Reserve opted not to cut interest rates for the first time since it began trying to help the economy through easier rates in September.

The S&P 500 fell 0.5% following the Fed’s widely expected decision. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dipped 137 points, or 0.3%, and the Nasdaq composite fell 0.5%.

Earlier, The Federal Open Market Committee kept the federal funds rate in a range of 4.25%-4.5%.

Here's the trade set-up for today.
