Rising Middle East tension pushed oil past $100 a barrel, knocking Taiwan stocks and the local currency lower — bad news for anyone hoping central banks are done raising rates.

• Taiwan's stock index fell below 47,000 as foreign investors turned into net sellers.
• The Taiwan dollar snapped a four-day rally, closing weaker at 31.548 against the US dollar.
• Other Asian currencies slipped too as the yen's climb paused, though all remain near recent highs.
• Traders are waiting on fresh US inflation numbers, with markets pricing roughly a 60% chance the Fed hikes next week.
• The European Central Bank is expected to raise rates today, and the euro has been strengthening.

Outlook: Next week's "super central bank week" — the Fed, the Bank of Japan and Taiwan's central bank all reporting — will set the direction for the dollar, yen and Taiwan dollar.
