NEW YORK, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Stock markets around the world were mixed on Wednesday amid signs that Rome would cut budget deficits and decrease its debt in the coming years, while U.S. Treasuries yields hit multi-year highs and the dollar firmed as data pointed to another Federal Reserve rate hike.

The U.S. dollar also gained after the release of the ADP data, which comes ahead of the more comprehensive non-farm payrolls data on Friday.
"Since today's data came in well above market expectations, this release is likely to inspire other forecasters to revise their forecasts higher," said Ward McCarthy, money market economist at Jefferies.
Stock markets around the world initially rose after a report in the Corriere della Serra newspaper - later confirmed to Reuters by a government source - said Italy's deficit would fall to 2.2 percent of gross domestic product in 2020 and to 2 percent in 2021 from the 2.4 percent earlier outlined.
