SINGAPORE — Asia-Pacific markets are set for a mixed open on Wednesday morning, following a poor start to the trading month on Wall Street that saw major indexes fall amid rising Middle East tensions.

Futures for Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 stood at 8,254.0 points, higher than its last close of 8208.9. Japan’s Nikkei 225 futures pointed to a lower open for the market, with the futures contract in Chicago at 38,000 and its counterpart in Osaka at 38,010 compared to the previous close of 38,651.97.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index futures were at 20,768, lower than the HSI’s last close of 21,133.68. Markets in Mainland China were closed Wednesday and will remain closed for the rest of the week due to the Golden Week holiday.
