Currency traders watch monitors at the foreign exchange dealing room of the Hana Bank headquarters in Seoul, South Korea, Friday, June 12, 2026. ( AP ) By AFP Published : June 29, 2026 at 8:29 AM IST 4 Min Read Hong Kong: Asian stocks were mixed and oil prices edged up as reports said the United States and Iran had agreed to stop attacking each other following a weekend of strikes that threw their fragile truce into question. Investor confidence remains shaky after last week's rollercoaster ride that saw markets whipsaw on the Middle East crisis and growing concerns about a tech bubble fuelled by the AI boom. While there is an expectation that Washington and Tehran will finalise a deal to end their conflict and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, the process has been fraught with tensions between the long-time foes. The two have traded strikes in recent days, disrupting shipping through the vital waterw…

US Stocks plummet as Iran tensions mount - Dow Jones and US Stock Index ... By Elior Manier 14 January 2026 at 17:13 UTC Referenced assets After yesterday's not-so-bullish CPI trading (despite a positive report), US Indexes are plummeting. The move reflects overbought conditions amid rising geopolitical tensions and ongoing diversification Exploring Technical Levels for the Dow Jones, Nasdaq and S&P 500 Yesterday sent a clear warning shot to US Traders: even a positive CPI report—arguably the Fed's primary concern—failed to hold the bid. Indexes finished in the red, leaving sell-the-news hints. And that hesitation is materializing into a full-blown pullback in today's session. Nasdaq is leading US Indexes in their fall, down 1.50% as I write this. After the relentless Freedom Rallies across equities last week, the market shrugged off everything, including the unprecedented investigation into Chair Powell. However, the escalating tensions in Iran are now being used as the pretext for a significant selloff in equities. On paper, the past week rally made perfect sense: record low credit spreads, record high bond issuance (signaling robust economic confidence), and solid earnings from…

Global Markets Tumble as US-Iran Tensions Escalate, Oil Surges Asian stock markets fell sharply on Monday as rising geopolitical tensions between the United States and Iran rattled investors, pushing U.S. bond yields to eight-month highs and sending oil prices on another volatile swing. Iran threatened to target Gulf neighbors' energy and water infrastructure if the U.S. followed through on President Donald Trump's warning to strike Iran's power grid within 48 hours. Trump also demanded Iran reopen the Strait of Hormuz — a critical global oil shipping lane now largely inaccessible — further dimming hopes for a near-term ceasefire in a conflict now entering its fourth week. Asian equities took a heavy blow. Japan's Nikkei plunged 3.9%, extending its March decline beyond 13%, while South Korea's market dropped 4.5%, down roughly 12% for the month. The broader MSCI Asia-Pacific index excluding Japan fell 1.2%. European and U.S. futures also pointed lower, with DAX and EUROSTOXX 50 futures each sliding 1.2%. Oil markets remained turbulent.

Asian Stocks Sink, Oil Rises on US-Iran Deadlock Most Asian shares were lower in morning trade on Monday, extending slides in global markets, as the impasse in the Middle East drove oil prices more than two percent higher. Washington and Tehran agreed to a truce in April, but negotiations on ending the conflict have stalled and sporadic attacks in the region have continued, said AFP. US President Donald Trump issued a fresh warning to Iran on Sunday, saying it had to move quickly towards a peace deal or "there won't be anything left of them". The war has led to an effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, through which around 20 percent of global oil exports pass in peacetime. The strait "remains meaningfully closed -- now approaching eleven weeks -- after the Trump-Xi summit in Beijing concluded without a breakthrough on reopening the waterway", MUFG's Michael Wan said Monday. Tokyo shares lost 1.0 percent and Hong Kong was down 1.4 percent, while Shanghai was flat. Sydney, Bangkok, Taipei, Singapore and Wellington also fell, with Jakarta tumbling 2.7 percent. Seoul, which has renewed record highs in recent days thanks to the artificial intelligence stock boom, was trading up 1…

US stocks fall, oil jumps amid US-Israel strikes on Iran MARKETS Iran Add Topic Oil jumps, stocks sell off as trading gets underway amid Iran strikes Andrea Riquier USA TODAY March 1, 2026, 6:36 p.m. ET Hear this story U.S. stock futures opened sharply lower on Sunday evening, March 1, as global investors reacted to the weekend strikes in the Middle East that killed Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, snarled global energy supply chains, and threatened a broader conflict. Geopolitical events are always a potential source of market upheaval, but they rarely have severe, widespread impacts. The weekend skirmishes between the U.S., Israel, and Iran could be different, some analysts say. “We expect markets to react more broadly to this weekend's attacks than other recent geopolitical events,” said analysts at TD Securities in an analysis released March 1. That's because the impacts are more broad-based. Energy supplies are disrupted in the short term, even as the possibility of the conflict spreading looms. What’s more, stocks were already on the back foot due to fears of disruptions from AI and distress in the private credit markets, said Jay Hatfield, CEO and CIO at Infras…
