Asian shares slip, but upbeat Japan GDP lifts Nikkei

Asian shares got off to a lackluster start on Wednesday after a mixed day on Wall Street, though Japan’s better-than-expected economic growth lifted the Nikkei to a nearly one-month high. The euro remained pressured by expectations that the European Central Bank would increase its bond-buying stimulus. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan was down about 0.1 percent in early trade.
