Rate decisions roll in, markets hold firm at highs

Live Mint  

By Jamie McGeever Feb 19 - A look at the day ahead in Asian markets. Two interest rate decisions and Chinese house prices top the Asia-Pacific calendar on Wednesday, with markets still pretty buoyant even as investors navigate the increasingly powerful crosscurrents of global trade and geopolitical uncertainty.

Here are key developments that could provide more direction to Asian markets on Wednesday: - New Zealand, Indonesia rate decisions - China house prices - HSBC earnings
