Japan's Nikkei down nearly 2% ahead of Powell's speech

Asia-Pacific markets are all trading in the red as investors prepare for signals on US monetary policy today. US Federal Reserve's chair Jerome Powell will be speaking later on today at the Jackson Hole meeting, and his speech is expected to be pivotal for markets.
