Shanghai lost 0.1% as markets in mainland China reopened after two days of public holidays.

“It's now considered an 80% chance the Fed will take that course,” said Kyle Rodda, a market analyst at IG in Melbourne. Investors hadn't fully priced in such a move, so greater evidence for it may move markets, Rodda added.
