Last Friday, regional markets finished higher, ending the month of August, as investors evaluated global inflation data and anticipated the U.S. Federal Reserve's potential interest rate cuts in September.

The personal consumption expenditures price index, which is the Fed's preferred inflation gauge, increased by 0.2% on a monthly basis in July and 2.5% from a year ago. This result was in line with the estimates of economists polled by Dow Jones. Additionally, excluding food and energy, the index also rose 0.2% from the previous month. This data is likely to impact policymakers' rate decision in September.
