On September 22, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (HKEX) continued to advance its listing mechanism reforms and launched a 10-week public consultation. The consultation document disclosed that the reforms involve simplified arrangements for various listed company transactions and spin-off listings. Following the previous phase of listing mechanism reforms targeting new shares, this second phase focuses on ongoing regulatory requirements for issuers after listing, covering three main areas: disclosable transactions, connected transactions, and spin-offs. The new rules aim to make it more flexible and efficient for Hong Kong-listed issuers to conduct significant acquisitions, sales, and spin-offs of subsidiaries. Under the current Hong Kong Stock Exchange Listing Rules, transactions by listed issuers are categorized according to percentages of assets, profits, revenue, and consideration: transactions reaching 5% but less than 25% are classified as "disclosable transactions," requiring only an announcement; transactions reaching 25% but less than 75% (sales) or 100% (acquisitions) are classified as "major transactions," requiring a circular and shareholder approval; larger transactions are categorized into "very substantial acquisitions" and "very substantial sales."On September 22nd, at the 2026 Hangzhou Yunqi Conference, Pingtouge announced its plans for the Yitian server CPU.

One economist predicts the central bank will raise rates by 25 basis points to 6.0%. HSBC economists stated in a report that the stability of the Indonesian rupiah may give the central bank room to hold rates steady at its September meeting. However, oil prices, El Niño, and the dollars performance could pose risks to inflation, the fiscal deficit, and the trade balance, and could weaken the rupiah later this year.

During the Asian session, in response to negative signals from the US dollar index, the USD/JPY pair plunged below 146.00. (DXY). Following Wednesday's low of 146.22, the asset's two-day downward trend has extended. The main index is reaching the bottom of Monday's knee-jerk reaction near 145.77 as it continues to decline.

 

The dollar bears are facing a severe sell-off due to the positive market sentiment. The risk-sensitive currencies have benefited from an increase in risk appetite. The US dollar index (DXY) has struck a new monthly low of 109.56 and is anticipated to stay volatile until the release of crucial US economic data.

 

The increased demand for U.S. government bonds has resulted in a decline in yields. This is due to the global markets' increased confidence. The yield on 10-year United States Treasury notes has decreased to 4%.

 

According to estimates, the Gross Domestic Product of the United States expanded by 2.4% in the third quarter. Despite the ultra-hawkish monetary policies of the Federal Reserve (Fed) and the previously disclosed 0.6% fall in growth, forecasts indicate a positive growth rate.

 

In addition, US Durable Goods Orders data will continue to be a key point. Compared to a reduction of 0.2%, it is projected that economic statistics will increase by 0.6%. Notable is the increase in core inflation, which includes oil and food prices. In spite of this, the predicted increase in demand for durable goods in the United States demonstrates healthy household demand.

 

Investors in Tokyo are anticipating the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) interest rate decision on Friday. In view of the shocks to foreign demand, BOJ Governor Haruhiko Kuroda will continue an ultra-loose monetary policy to stimulate the outlook for economic development. In addition, Japanese policymakers are anxious that the inflation rate could go below 2%; hence, an extremely liberal policy is the best alternative.
