Quick Answer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Asian markets today are showing a mixed picture on September 24, 2026. Japan’s Nikkei 225 rose about 1.3 percent to catch up with a global AI-led rally after returning from a three-day holiday, while China’s Shanghai Composite, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng, and Indonesia’s Jakarta Composite all traded lower. Climbing bond yields and firmer oil prices weighed on broader risk appetite across the region, even as a strong US dollar added pressure on most currencies and equity markets outside Japan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Asian equity markets were trading mostly lower in early trade on Thursday, with one clear exception standing out from the rest of the region.<\/p>\n

Japan’s Nikkei 225 was the standout gainer, rising around 846 points, or 1.3 percent, to 65,865, as Tokyo’s market caught up with a global rally in artificial-intelligence-linked stocks after returning from a three-day public holiday. The index touched an intraday high of 66,219 during the session.<\/p>\n
