Investors in Asia hoping for some relief from surging U.S. bond yields and a rampant dollar would have been deflated by remarks on Tuesday from Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell, and will likely go into Wednesday's trading with their guard up.

A top federation of U.S. labor unions has urged Norfolk Southern shareholders to vote against Ancora's director candidates, arguing the hedge fund's plans for the railroad would compromise safety and improvements being considered. "Ancora's proposed strategy for Norfolk Southern is "not fit for purpose" and the election of Ancora's proposed directors will derail the safety and service improvements that are currently underway at Norfolk Southern," the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations said in a letter.
