The Asian session (Sydney · Australia · Tokyo · China · Singapore) · updated 2026-09-28 21:00 UTC.
Good evening. The day that just ended was one long grind higher in yields — Wall Street's tech darlings feeling the squeeze — while oil and the Strait of Hormuz kept everyone's attention, and Citi quietly opened stablecoin payments to its institutional clients.
Asia's calendar is front-loaded and Aussie-heavy: the RBA's Cash Rate and Rate Statement land as high-tier events, followed by the Press Conference, plus a low-tier BRC Shop Price Index for sterling, Household Spending for the aussie, and the KOF barometer and Spanish Flash CPI further out.
On the gauge, USD/JPY still leans BULLISH at 157.482, holding above 157.28018, though the H1 Bollinger squeeze remains the tightest in 120 bars — energy building. Gold sits BEARISH CLEAR at 4342.88, wedged between 4333.73 and 4359.91. Oil is the live wire: NEUTRAL on the card, but price at 92.53 is pressed against 92.57 with just 0.1 ATR of room, and the Hormuz headlines are doing the pushing. With the tilt gauge having flipped repeatedly on USD/JPY and gold in the last 24 hours, treat any single label change as noise, not a turn.
