0946 GMT - Singapore's FTSE Straits Times Index closed 0.6% higher at 3930.49, tracking U.S. futures. Asian markets likely tracked U.S. optimism after a dovish stance from the Fed, the Saxo Strategy team wrote.

Among advancers, ST Engineering jumped 5.2%, Sembcorp Industries rose 2.6% and Mapletree Logistics Trust was 2.3% higher. Among decliners, DFI Retail Group lost 1.3%, Thai Beverage Public Co. fell 1.0% and Yangzijiang Shipbuilding was 0.85% lower. (kimberley.kao@wsj.com)
