Asian equities showed mixed performance at opening, influenced by soft US services data creating uncertainty about Federal Reserve's strategy. Gold prices rose for the fifth consecutive session on Wednesday, driven by potential US interest rate cuts, as market participants await President Donald Trump's announcement regarding Federal Reserve appointments.
