Stocks hesitate in Asia with a lot riding on the Fed


SYDNEY: Stocks got off to a quiet start in Asia on Monday ahead of an action-packed week that is seemingly certain to see the U.S. Federal Reserve resume its easing cycle, and perhaps leave the door wide open to a series of cuts.

The Bank of Canada is also expected to cut rates by a quarter point this week, while China's central bank might trim one of its market rates amid a sluggish economy. The Bank of Japan and Bank of England also meet and are both seen on hold.
