Asian shares firm as Fed hike bets fade > News

This is a market update in which Vantage Markets reviews Asian equities and the yen on 4 September 2026. It explains that after comments from a US Federal Reserve (the US central bank) official, expectations of a September rate hike were lower than earlier in the week, and that major Asian stock indices and the yen rose in step with that. The piece was written during the Asian session, so the picture may well have changed since, and you should check current data separately.

Key points to check
- This piece captures the Asian trading session on 4 September 2026. Rate expectations, indices and exchange rates can shift within hours, so treat the figures in the original as a record of that moment only.
- The original points to US employment data and the 16 September Federal Open Market Committee meeting (where the Fed sets rates) as the next things to watch. Note, however, that the August US employment data was already released on 4 September 2026, the same day the original appeared. This piece reflects expectations written before that release, so you will need to check separately how the market moved afterwards.
- Index CFDs settle only the price difference: you never own the underlying shares. The trade is done on margin, so losses grow by the same multiple as gains, and you can lose your entire capital.
