Japan's Nikkei index opened down 381.75 points, or 0.55%, at 69,022.75 on Wednesday, June 17.

Fed Chair Kevin Warsh said he is open to new data sources.

TIMIRAOS on the Fed decision: the dot plot shows a clear hawkish tilt — 9 of 18 officials expect at least one hike this year, six expect multiple hikes and only one expects cuts. One participant (likely Fed chair KEVIN WARSH) did not submit an SEP. The policy statement was rewritten end-to-end and notably shortened. Communication framework has shifted materially, which could prompt markets to reprice the interest-rate path.
