ASIA NIGHT SESSION | Nikkei, Taiwan Futures Rebound Overnight as U.S. Stocks Snap Losing Streak; Hang Seng Futures Flat

According to HKET, RTHK and Yahoo Taiwan, Asian index futures firmed in overnight trading after U.S. equities rebounded, ending a four-session slide, as oil prices eased and an in-line August U.S. CPI reading hardened expectations for a Federal Reserve rate increase. The Dow rose 509.19 points, or 0.98%, to 52,573.29. Nikkei 225 futures recovered in the Osaka overnight session. The near-month December 2026 contract closed the night session at 64,510, up 550 points, per JPX official data, rebounding from the Tokyo cash market's near-2% loss earlier Friday. Hong Kong futures were little changed overnight, with the Hang Seng Index night futures ending 6 points lower at 24,793 and the H-share night index up 0.4% at 5,811. Among ADRs converted to Hong Kong dollars, the HSBC ADR traded about 1.17% above its Hong Kong close, while the Tencent ADR was down 0.31%, the Meituan ADR down 0.51% and Alibaba's U.S. shares off 0.30%. The Hang Seng cash market had closed Friday down 148 points at 24,805. Taiwan futures led the overnight advance, with the TAIEX night futures settling at 46,588, up 401 points or 0.87%, buoyed by a 1.22% gain in the TSMC ADR. The TAIEX cash index had closed Friday down 755 points, or 1.61%, at 46,184.
