The Asian session (Sydney · Australia · Tokyo · China · Singapore) · updated 2026-09-14 21:30 UTC.
Asia Session Prep — 21:00–08:00 UTC
The US closed out a messy one: the 10-year yield briefly topped 5% for the first time since 2007, AI names took the hit, and Brent found its way to $109 as the Houthi campaign intensified — oil still doing the heavy lifting it was doing when London handed over.
Asia's own calendar is a quiet one, so the loudest noise comes from China's data dump: New Home Prices, Industrial Production, Retail Sales, Fixed Asset Investment, Unemployment and the NBS press conference, all Low-tier but worth a glance for tone. Japan's Tertiary Industry Activity and German WPI round out the thin list. The real day, though, belongs to the UK — Claimant Count Change (High) and Average Earnings (Medium) land in this window, with the Unemployment Rate tagging along.
On the barometer, oil stays bullish-clear (D1/H4 up, H1 mixed, H4 RSI 58.4) but is flagged extended — the note from the US session stands. Gold is bearish-clear (D1/H4 down, H4 RSI 38.3) and sits between 4277.45 and 4332.77. EUR/USD leans bearish (H4 RSI 28.4) perched just 0.4 ATR above 1.15446 support, with an RSI divergence warning attached. GBP/USD is boxed tight between 1.34793 and 1.34986 — breakout pending, and today's UK data is the likely trigger. USD/JPY is the neutral one, holding 154.04 support with 154.35 resistance 0.2 ATR away. Crypto is the bright spot: Bitcoin neutral but firm (H1 RSI 66.1), Ethereum bullish-clear (H4 RSI 60.8) after a 2.12 ATR outlier move. Keep sizes modest through the UK prints.
