Asian stock markets closed lower! The Nikkei and KOSPI fell after bond yields and oil prices surged as investors awaited US inflation data.

Asian stock markets closed lower today (September 11, 2569), with South Korea and Japan experiencing sharp declines. Chinese and Hong Kong markets also closed lower, pressured by rising oil prices above $100 per barrel and a surge in the yield on 10-year U.S. Treasury bonds to their highest level since October 2566. Investors are also watching for the U.S. Consumer Price Index (CPI) report to be released today, a key factor in the Federal Reserve's (Fed) interest rate decision on September 16.

Japanese stock market

The Nikkei index fell nearly 2% amid investment sentiment pressured by rising oil prices and higher U.S. bond yields. Investors are also watching U.S. inflation figures, which could influence the Federal Reserve's interest rate stance next week.

• The Nikkei index closed at 64,011.34 points, down 1,259.61 points or -1.93%.

Chinese stock market

The Shanghai Composite Index fell in line with overall Asian stock markets as investors faced pressure from high oil prices and rising US bond yields. The market is also watching for a US CPI report, which will be a key factor influencing future monetary policy.

Hong Kong Stock Market

The Hang Seng Index fell amid pressure from weaker Asian stock markets, while rising oil prices above $100 per barrel and higher U.S. bond yields weighed on investment sentiment. Investors are also closely watching U.S. inflation figures.
