• Asian stocks cut early gains as investor caution grew before a news conference by President-elect Donald Trump on Wednesday, where his views on global trade and China will be carefully scrutinized for future policy implications.
MSCI's ex-Japan Asia-Pacific shares index .MIAPJ0000PUS was flat on the day, having risen as much as 0.5percent after posting a rare loss in the previous session. Australia's S&P/ASX200 rose 0.9 percent while Hong Kong shares .HSI rose 0.2 percent.
Trading was light because Japan is shut for a holiday (Coming-of-Age Day).
