Elsewhere in Asia, China’s bourses fell for the second consecutive day largely shrugging off better-than-expected GDP data. In Europe, major equity indices traded mixed earlier on Wednesday, ahead of a key vote in the Hellenic Parliament on a first set of measures agreed by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and European officials at the July 12 Euro Summit. In FX markets, the sterling was the major outperformer after Bank of England Governor Carney’s comments in a Parliamentary Committee signaling that the date of the first interest rate hike since the onset of the financial crisis is moving closer.

GREECE: The Greek government submitted yesterday to Parliament a bill incorporating in two legislative articles the first set of prior actions and all the commitments Greece agreed to undertake in accordance with the 12 July Euro Summit agreement. The vote is scheduled to take place late tonight.
