Dollar, bond yields rise on Fed rate risk

Asian share markets were in a mixed mood on Wednesday as the mounting risks of a hike in U.S. interest rates as early as next month lifted the dollar and bond yields, pressuring currencies across the region. Moves were mostly minor with Japan’s Nikkei (.N225) up 0.2 percent and South Korea’s KOSPI (.KS11) off 0.1 percent. MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan slipped 0.5 percent.
