Asia markets poised for mixed open ahead of Japan corporate inflation data and New Zealand rate decision ========== Asia-Pacific markets are set for a mixed open ahead of Japan's corporate inflation figures for March and rate decisions from New Zealand and Thailand's central banks. Japan's corporate inflation rate is expected to accelerate to 0.8%. South Korea's markets are closed Wednesday for parliamentary elections. In Australia, futures for the S&P/ASX 200 point to a third straight day of gains. However, Japan's Nikkei 225 is set to fall. Futures for Hong Kong's Hang Seng index point to a stronger open. Overnight in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average closed just below the flatline, while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite posted gains. Twelve S&P 500 stocks hit fresh highs on Tuesday, including Alphabet and Freeport-McMoRan. Boeing and Norfolk Southern were among the biggest movers during midday trading.
