Summary of the Asian Session: August 27, 2025

Japan – Nikkei 225 +0.24%
The Nikkei edged higher, supported by stabilization of the yen around 147.6 to the dollar. Investors remain cautious ahead of a series of economic data that could influence the Bank of Japan's policy.

China – Shanghai Composite -0.39%
Chinese markets declined following another drop in industrial profits in July (-1.5% year-on-year), despite continued support measures from Beijing.

Hong Kong – Hang Seng -0.40%
The Hang Seng attempted a rebound after heavy losses the previous day, buoyed by the technology and consumer sectors. The market is still awaiting Nvidia's results and the US PCE index.

India – Sensex -1.04%
Significant drop in Mumbai amid uncertainty over exports due to the new US 50% tax. Expectations around the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council meeting in early September are also weighing in.

Session Recap
The Asian session reflects general caution, with markets in wait-and-see mode ahead of Nvidia's results and key macroeconomic indicators. Tensions on Indian exports and the slowdown in Chinese industry highlight regional vulnerabilities.
