Major Asian stock indices continue to rise and have already gained 2.62%.

As expected, indices of the Asia-Pacific region followed the trajectory of the US stock market.

His words intensified expectations of a 0.75% rate hike at the September meeting.
On Thursday, the ECB decided to raise the three key ECB interest rates by 75 basis points. The EU regulator also announced it was ready to introduce more rate hikes if this was required to tackle rising inflation.
The recent data from China showed that inflation slowed down by 2.5% in August after rising by 2.7% in July. Experts predicted a 2.8% rise in consumer prices. The reason behind the slowdown is a drop in consumer activity caused by new lockdown measures.
