  "account": "Asian shares wavered on Tuesday (Sep 15) amidst rising oil prices and bond yields, as investors grappled with Middle East tensions and calls for a slowdown in AI development. The Yemen-based Iran-aligned Houthis attacked Saudi Arabia, and Gulf Arab states postponed talks with Iran due to pipeline disruptions that could affect up to 4% of global oil supply. US crude surged 1.27% to $102.68 a barrel, while Brent climbed 1.21% to $106.96 per barrel. Analysts forecast higher interest rates as markets remain cautious about the risk of inflationary pressures. MSCI's Asia-Pacific index dipped 0.12%, and Japan's Nikkei edged 0.19% higher after a drop the previous day. South Korean shares recovered from earlier losses, driven by bargain-hunting in chip stocks. The Federal Open Market Committee begins its two-day meeting, with a 90% chance of a rate hike, while Japan's central bank is expected to raise rates by 25 basis points.",
