However, gains were limited after prospects for an interest rate hike in the US increased after consumer prices in the US on a monthly basis rebounded in February and new home sales in the world’s largest economy jumped to a seven-year high in the same month. Additionally, the preliminary reading of the manufacturing PMI in the nation too accelerated at its fastest pace in five months in March
