US markets remained subdued where investors awaited start off earnings season and a news conference from President Donald Trump to be held on January 11. S&P 500 closed flat at 2268.9 levels as fall in oil offset the advance in healthcare stocks.

European markets closed mostly higher, where UK’s FTSE 100 broke a new record, closing 0.52% up. This was driven by a rally in mining stocks and British Pound devaluation. France's CAC 40 remained flat; and Germany's DAX closed 0.17% up with hopes that Germany's economy would expand 1.5% in 2017.
 
Asian markets started off Wednesday's session on a positive note, ahead of Donald Trump’s first full-fledged press conference after election. Moreover, base metals remained strongly up driven by buoyant Producers Price Inflation (PPI) data from China. Nikkei 225 is 0.29% up, Hang Seng has surged 0.69%; while Shanghai Composite is flat.
