According to Nikkei minkabu data provider JPX, Yonhap and Hong Kong Economic Times, Asian index futures traded in a mixed overnight session as investors braced for the Federal Reserve's rate decision on Wednesday, which markets price at about a 94.5% chance of a 0.25-point increase. U.S. 10-year Treasury yields pushed above 5% to a 19-year high, oil rose sharply, and Wall Street's main indexes eased while the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index added 0.40%. Osaka-traded Nikkei 225 futures held firm in the night session. The near-month December 2026 contract settled at 63,490 at the 06:00 close, up 170 points, after trading between a low of 62,930 and a high of 63,850 on volume of 8,312 lots. The more active December Nikkei 225 mini contract ended at 63,495, up 175 points. Seoul's index futures pointed slightly lower, with the KOSPI 200 night futures down 0.17%. In the prior cash session the KOSPI had closed at 6,627.26, down 57.11 points or 0.85% for a fourth straight decline, while the KOSDAQ rose 5.62 points or 0.70% to 812.41. Daishin Securities analyst Lee Kyung-min said the market is more sensitive to negatives than positives amid worries over a September rate increase, but noted current bond yields look near a peak and equities near a trough, keeping the 6,600 support level plausible. Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index night futures closed up 86 points at 24,762, while the China Enterprises tech gauge night futures fell 1.1% to 5,765. In overnight ADR trading, Meituan's ADR was up 0.22% at an equivalent HK$74.92, Tencent's ADR slipped 0.26% to HK$437.65, Alibaba's U.S. shares were little changed at HK$107.22, and HSBC's ADR rose 0.49% to HK$160.38.

The near-month September 2026 contract closed at 45,529, down 63 points or 0.14%, trading between 45,330 and 45,736 on volume of 22,905 lots.

The Advertising Standards Authority has banned five social media ads for AI companion and video-generating apps after finding they promoted the creation of sexually explicit content and the objectification of women, according to BBC. The regulator said the ads, uploaded to Meta platforms, used harmful gender stereotypes and in one case sexualised a girl under 18. It said one ad for Animcha Ltd portrayed someone under 18 in a sexual way, while other ads for Nexaipic, KH31 DD22, Rusto AI and PictoPop encouraged users to upload images and create sexualised or topless videos. Meta had already removed the ads, and the ASA said it may notify platforms and law enforcement where ads are illegal.

Complaints from households about water companies to the Consumer Council for Water rose 84% in 2025-26 to 15,115, up from 8,235 a year earlier, according to BBC. The watchdog said the increase was the biggest in its 20-year history and reflected customer concern and confusion over higher bills in England and Wales. Direct complaints to water companies also rose 56% to 321,347. The main issues raised with the CCW were measured billing, affordability and billing administration. Thames Water and South West Water were rated poor on both performance measures, while Portsmouth Water and Bristol Water were the only firms to score good on both. Ofwat has allowed bills to rise by 36% between 2025 and 2030, and last month approved increases for 13 companies to help fund infrastructure and environmental upgrades.

According to Sina Finance, Nissan will invest 170 million pounds to produce a new hybrid SUV at its Sunderland plant. A person familiar with the matter said the plant's annual output could rise by up to 50,000 vehicles after Kicks production begins. Nissan's manufacturing cooperation project with Chery is moving forward, and the two sides have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding. Chery plans to produce three models at the Sunderland plant.

U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders has reintroduced the 32-hour workweek bill with California Representative Mark Takano. According to Sina Finance, the proposal would cut the standard workweek for nonexempt employees from 40 hours to 32 hours, requiring employers to shorten hours or pay overtime for extra time. Sanders said the new technology’s economic gains must benefit working families, not just a small number of billionaires and corporate CEOs. The bill would also phase down the overtime threshold over at least six months after it takes effect, reaching 32 hours four years later. It would require overtime pay after more than eight hours in a day and double pay after 12 hours, while current federal law generally requires overtime only after more than 40 hours in a week.

Japan's export growth eased slightly in August but remained elevated, with shipments to the United States driving overall gains. According to Sina Finance, Japan's Ministry of Finance said exports rose 19.3% from a year earlier, below July's 23.2% increase but above economists' median forecast of 18.4%. Imports climbed 28%, exceeding economists' estimate of 26.3%. The unadjusted trade deficit widened to 1.1 trillion yen, while July's revised deficit was 638.3 billion yen, marking a fourth straight month of deficits. The report said market volatility affected trade balances. Average Brent crude prices were about $88 a barrel in August, and the yen continued to fluctuate near 160 per dollar, lifting Japan's crude import bill. Brent crude prices topped $100 a barrel last week amid more attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and continued tensions between the United States and Iran. Year to date in September, the yen has strengthened more than 3% against the dollar, making it the best-performing Asian currency over the period. Exports to the United States rose 24.9%, exports to China increased 20.6%, and exports to Europe gained 11%.

US stocks fell for a second straight session on Tuesday as investors positioned for Wednesday's Federal Reserve interest-rate decision and reacted to an article by Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei on AI safety concerns, while Treasury yields surged to multi-year highs, according to Sina Finance. The Dow fell 328.09 points, or 0.63%, to 52,093.10; the S&P 500 dropped 34.25 points, or 0.45%, to 7,585.73; and the Nasdaq lost 204.84 points, or 0.78%, to 25,981.57. Among the "Magnificent Seven," Meta and Nvidia posted modest gains, Amazon fell more than 2%, Google and Microsoft dropped more than 1%, and Apple and Tesla edged lower. Coherent rose nearly 2%, Super Micro gained 2%, and Qualcomm advanced more than 4%. Crypto-related stocks broadly declined, with Circle down more than 11%, Bitmine off more than 8%, Strategy down more than 5%, and Robinhood falling more than 3%. Oil stocks broadly rose, with Devon Energy and ConocoPhillips up more than 3%; Occidental, Chevron, and ExxonMobil gained more than 2%; and Halliburton rose nearly 2%. SoftBank Group's ADR climbed more than 9%. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield rose to its highest level since 2007, reaching 5.041%. Bond yields move inversely to prices. The yield later retreated from its high, most recently up more than 3 basis points at 5.00%. In recent weeks, global bond yields have been a focus for equity markets, as government bonds were sold off amid growing concerns that the ongoing US-Iran war would push up inflation and that central banks were turning hawkish. "Investors are finally starting to confront these concerns," said Melissa Brown, head of global investment decision research at SimCorp. Beyond US government debt surpassing $40 trillion and inflation "stubbornly staying high," Brown added that oil breaking above $100 per barrel "put people on alert." Oil moved higher after Saudi Arabia shut a key pipeline bypassing the Strait of Hormuz, with Brent crude futures settling above $105 per barrel on Monday and West Texas Intermediate settling above $101. On Tuesday, crude extended gains, with Brent futures for November delivery up nearly 3% at $108.75 per barrel, while WTI futures rose more than 4% to $105.83. With Treasury yields and oil prices continuing to rise, markets are also watching the Fed's policy rate decision expected Wednesday. Federal funds futures show a more than 94% probability the central bank will raise rates by 25 basis points from the current 3.5% to 3.75% target range. Barclays strategists said in a Tuesday note that higher rates were already pressuring valuations and increasingly putting equity portfolios at risk. "While earnings have offset the drag so far, the 10-year yield approaching the 5% threshold marks a historically important inflection point, above which rates typically become a more persistent headwind for stocks," they said.
