The Asian Development Bank (ADB) revised its GDP growth forecasts for developing Asia and the Pacific for this year and next, citing strong demand for products from the region’s high-tech economies and faster-than-expected growth in India. Growth in 2025 is now projected at 5.1%, up from the 4.8% forecast in September, the ADB said in an update to its Asian Development Outlook on Wednesday, and above the 4.9% projection it issued when the report was first released in April. The bank also raised its 2026 growth forecast for the region to 4.6% from 4.5%, citing reduced trade uncertainty after several US trade deals. The region consists of 46 economies ranging from China and India to Georgia and Samoa, but excluding Japan, Australia, and New Zealand. China’s 2025 outlook edged up to 4.8% from 4.7%, still below Beijing’s 5.0% target, while the 2026 projection remained unchanged at 4.3%, reflecting continued weakness in the country’s property market.

ADB Revises Up 2025 Asia-Pacific GDP Forecast to 5.1%

The Nikkei 225 Index rose 0.7% to above 50,980, while the broader Topix Index gained 0.6% to 3,405 on Wednesday, marking a third straight session of gains as the yen extended its decline. The currency weakened even after Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda signaled the central bank is getting closer to achieving its inflation target, suggesting a potential near-term rate hike. A softer yen improves the profit outlook for export-heavy Japanese industries and makes domestic assets more attractive to foreign investors. Markets also positioned for an expected US Federal Reserve rate cut later today, with attention centered on guidance for next year. Gains were broad-based, led by SoftBank Group (0.8%), Fanuc (4.4%), Tokyo Electron (1.3%), Kawasaki Heavy (4.3%) and Tokyo Electric Power (2.1%).

Japanese Shares Rise as Yen Weakens

US stock futures were steady on Wednesday as investors awaited the Federal Reserve’s latest policy decision, with the central bank widely expected to deliver its third 25 basis point rate cut this year. Policymakers remain split, with some pushing for further easing to support a cooling market while others caution that lowering rates too quickly could reignite inflation. Markets will also closely watch Chair Jerome Powell’s post-meeting remarks for signals on the 2026 rates outlook. In regular trading on Tuesday, the Dow and S&P 500 fell 0.38% and 0.09%, respectively, while the Nasdaq Composite inched up 0.13%. The Dow was weighed down by a 4.7% slide in JPMorgan after the bank forecast 2026 expenses near $105 billion. Meanwhile, gains in heavyweights Tesla (1.3%), Broadcom (1.3%) and Alphabet (1.1%) supported the tech-focused Nasdaq Composite.

US Futures Flat Ahead of Fed Decision

The NZX 50 dropped 25 points, or 0.2%, to 13,430 in Wednesday morning trade, extending losses for the second consecutive session and hitting its lowest level since November 21, as traders were cautious ahead of the Fed's interest rate decision later today. Investors assessed the statement from RBNZ Governor Anna Breman on Wednesday. She said that there was no preset course for monetary policy and that adjustments would be made if the outlook for inflation changes. The central bank cut the official cash rate by 25 bps to 2.25% at the end of November. Traders also awaited the release of CPI and PPI data from China, New Zealand's top trading partner, due later today, to guide the economic outlook in the mainland amid persistently weak domestic demand. Consumer staples, industrials, healthcare, and communication services weighed on the index. Among early losers were Smart Healthcare (1.9%), Auckland International Airport (-1.2%), Infratil (-0.9%), and Fisher & Paykel (-0.8%).
