Asian markets settle mostly lower on Tuesday

08 Sep 2026 Evaluate
Asian markets settled mostly lower on Tuesday ahead of the release of crucial US inflation data this week and amid concerns over a possible US Federal Reserve interest rate hike this month. Spike in crude oil prices weighed on market sentiments with Brent crude prices surging past $98 a barrel mark following an extended Middle East conflict after Iran threatened to retaliate against any new US attacks on its assets and Saudi-led coalition forces vowed a resolute response to a wave of attacks from Houthi rebels. However, renewed optimism over artificial intelligence investment and strong memory-chip demand continued to support semiconductor shares. Meanwhile, Japanese market fell as the yen extended its advance against the US dollar to its strongest level since February followed by rising expectations of a Bank of Japan interest-rate hike next week.
