  "account": "Asian stocks and bonds are expected to decline on Thursday (Sep 24) as Wall Street losses and inflation concerns drive investors to reassess policy tightening. The yen is near a three-week low and will be closely watched when Japanese markets reopen. New Zealand and Australian government bonds fell, mirroring moves in US Treasuries. Equity-index futures for Hong Kong and Australia pointed to lower prices, while US equity futures remained relatively stable after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 dropped. South Korean markets remained closed. US oil prices rose after crude jumped 3.9% to $103.08 a barrel. 10-year Treasury yields surged 15 basis points to 5.11%, the highest one-day increase since 2007, while the US dollar strengthened against major currencies. Higher energy costs coupled with a robust US economy are expected to keep pressure on bonds and equities, as investors scrutinize upcoming Fed rate decisions.",
