Asian shares fell on Wednesday as investors grew cautious before upcoming central bank meetings and U.S. jobs data, while India’s central bank surprised with its second inter-meeting rate cut this year. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down about 0.3 percent, while Japan’s Nikkei stock average (.N225) ended down 0.6 percent as investors locked in gains from its recent rise to 15-year highs. Investors remained cautious ahead of U.S. nonfarm payrolls report for February, which could provide clues about the timing of the U.S. Federal Reserve’s interest rate hike.
