Global Markets: Asia-Pacific markets traded mixed Wednesday after the World Bank raised the region's growth forecast Tuesday. Markets in Mainland China and South Korea are closed for the holidays. The World Bank on Tuesday raised its 2025 growth forecast for China as part of an overall boost in projections for East Asia and the Pacific, after a summer that saw U.S. tariff-led uncertainty rock the global economy. The World Bank now projects China's economy to expand by 4.8%, compared with 4% predicted in April. The new forecast is closer to China's official target of around 5% growth in gross domestic product in 2025. A decline in China's GDP by 1 percentage point lowers growth in the rest of developing East Asia and Pacific by 0.3 percentage points, according to World Bank estimates. With the China GDP upgrade, the region is expected to expand by 4.8% this year, versus 4% forecast earlier this year, according to the World Bank.
