Micron earnings spark futures rally as traders eye May inflation read

U.S. stock futures rose after Micron’s blowout earnings and strong guidance, lifting chip names and helping sentiment even as the S&P 500 and Nasdaq fell in regular trading while the Dow gained. Investors are awaiting May's PCE inflation data and other key reports, with earnings from McCormick, Commercial Metals, Darden, and Winnebago on deck. Asia-Pacific markets opened broadly higher on tech-led gains, and oil prices pulled back as Hormuz traffic resumed; SK Hynix also announced a Nasdaq listing.

Oil climbs and markets wobble as U.S.-Iran tensions spike

Global equities fell as fresh U.S. strikes on Iran raised Middle East tensions, sending oil prices higher (WTI ~$90.65, Brent ~$96) and weighing on Asia-Pacific and European stock indices. Korea’s Kospi, Japan’s Nikkei, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng and the pan-European Stoxx 600 moved lower, while China showed mixed moves. Notable movers included Chinese EV maker Nio and LG Energy Solution in Korea, which gained on launches and new deals. Investors also watched Fed officials signal inflation as the top priority ahead of a key PCE price index release.

Regional markets rise as Dow hits record; oil climbs amid Iran tensions

Asia-Pacific equities gained as Wall Street closed at a record high and Brent crude climbed to about $105 amid U.S.–Iran tensions after Trump blocked the Strait of Hormuz. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged 2.68% to 63,339.07 (Topix +1%), with core inflation cooling to 1.4% in April, easing BOJ rate-hike expectations. Korea’s Kospi +0.41% and Kosdaq up sharply, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng +1.03%, and China’s CSI 300 +1.26%; India’s Nifty 50 and Sensex also higher. U.S. 10-year yields eased to around 4.57% and the 30-year yield nudged lower. Moody’s warned that longer-term borrowing costs could rise due to defense spending and expansive AI/data-center investment, underscoring a still-challenging global financing backdrop.

Asia-Pacific stocks mixed as Trump’s ceasefire doubts weigh on mood; Nikkei climbs

Asia-Pacific equities were mixed after President Trump said the U.S.-Iran ceasefire is on ‘massive life support,’ with Japan’s Nikkei 225 higher while Korea’s Kospi fell. Investors also digested BOJ minutes suggesting rate hikes and a rise in 10-year yields, as Hong Kong gained modestly and U.S. stock futures pointed to small advances amid firmer oil prices and ongoing inflation concerns.
