HONG KONG, Oct 09, 2014 (AFP) : Asian markets mostly rose Thursday following an upswing on Wall Street as minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest meeting indicated policymakers were nervous about hiking interest rates too soon.
The minutes show the central bank board aired worries about the stronger dollar, a stumbling eurozone economy, slowing growth in China and Japan and geopolitical risks.
The news also sent the euro and yen up against the greenback as dealers contemplated several more months of record-low rates.
