Asian stocks were mixed on Wednesday as investors nervously awaited key US jobs data that could influence the Federal Reserve's next interest rate decision. Seoul's Kospi sank more than two percent, extending a downward run, while Tokyo, Shanghai, Singapore, Taipei and Manila edged up. Markets are focused on Thursday's US non-farm payrolls report for June, with a strong reading likely to ramp up rate hike expectations and a below-forecast reading potentially providing a boost. The yen remained under pressure, trading around 162.70 per dollar after hitting its weakest level since 1986. Oil prices inched higher amid optimism over US-Iran talks.
