  "account": "Asian stocks saw a rise at the beginning of the Asia-Pacific trading session on August 27, as Nvidia's latest earnings report surpassed expectations. This move lifted tech hardware companies and reignited investor optimism following data that indicated the Federal Reserve's preferred US inflation gauge remains elevated. The MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares, excluding Japan, climbed by 0.7 percent, continuing its three-day winning streak. Nvidia's shares surged 4.7 percent in after-hours trading, prompting a 0.4 percent rise in S&P 500 e-mini futures. Chris Weston, head of research at Pepperstone Group in Melbourne, remarked that the company's performance was \"absolutely rude health,\" signaling a bullish outlook and potential benefits for suppliers in the supply chain. South Korea's KOSPI climbed by 1.5 percent, while Taiwan's shares increased by 0.9 percent, whereas the Nikkei 225 dipped by 0.4 percent. Stocks on Wall Street gained slightly overnight, with the S&P 500 closing flat after the personal consumption expenditures (PCE) index rose by 0.2 percent in July compared to the prior month, after a 0.1 percent drop the previous month. Societe Generale analysts noted that while July core PCE inflation was broadly in line with expectations, the finer details were more robust. This indicated a slightly firmer inflation backdrop heading into the September FOMC meeting. The yield on the US 10-year Treasury bond decreased by 1.5 basis points to 4.647 percent as markets awaited Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's speech in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, on August 28 for additional insights on the course of US interest rates. Brent crude oil prices fell by 0.7 percent to US$87.20 (S$110.80), on track for a fourth consecutive day of decline, as Qatar's prime minister prepared to visit Tehran on August 27 to resume peace talks between the US and Iran. The US dollar index remained stable at 99.12, near its highest level in the past week. Gold also increased by 0.7 percent to US$4,624.14 after a pullback on August 26. Cryptocurrency markets saw bitcoin rise by 0.8 percent to US$79,043.18, and ether increase by 1.3 percent to US$2,504.96. All three assets are benefiting from the resurgence of \"dollar debasement\" trades following the US Treasury Department's intervention in bond markets last week.",
