Strong dollar and rising yields, along with high oil prices near mid-$90s, may cap risk sentiments.
Upcoming US CPI (forecast 0.4% MoM headline, 0.2% core) will be key.
ECB widely expected to hike 25bps on Thursday after euro-zone inflation rose to 3.3%.
Asia: Singapore retail sales expected to rise 2.0% YoY in July; Philippines inflation eased slightly.
Thailand paused 166 data center projects to develop nationwide standards.
Commodities: Gold fell, oil prices rose; investor caution due to possible trade restrictions on rare earths.
