Asian markets settled mostly higher on Tuesday as Brent crude prices dipped below $100 per barrel after reports suggested that Middle East crude exports are recovering toward pre-war levels, while pressure from a stronger American currency and elevated US Treasury yields was also offset by reduced chances of an October rate hike by the Federal Reserve. Japanese market gained tracking Wall Street’s strong performance overnight. Meanwhile, Chinese markets were closed for the National Day Golden Week holiday and are scheduled to reopen on October 8, 2026.
