What to watch in the Asia session

The Asian session (Sydney · Australia · Tokyo · China · Singapore) · updated 2026-08-25 21:00 UTC.

The story carried over — bitcoin’s rally paused near three-month highs, while falling oil helped steady stocks and bonds into the US close.

The Asia calendar is squarely about Australia: CPI and trimmed mean inflation are the high-tag items, alongside low-impact reads from Japan’s SPPI, the MI leading index, and construction work done. With little else on the docket, data will be the opening act, but headlines and technicals look set to keep the heavy lifting.

Technically, the bulls are still in charge of the majors — gold has open ground overhead with no tested ceiling, and EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY all carry bullish leanings, though GBP flashes a small divergence warning. Oil’s RSI is deeply oversold, so watch for a bounce around 79.82 rather than a chase lower. Bitcoin is pressing up against 78,651.5 after a pullback; a break above reopens the $80,000 door, while losing 77,718.4 would pause the script. And with Australian CPI the only real catalyst, a hot number could give the Aussie a jolt — keep the coffee close.
