Asia stocks slip as US strikes on Iran spark risk-off ahead of PCE data

Asian stock markets retreated after fresh U.S. strikes on Iran dampened risk appetite ahead of the U.S. PCE inflation report; key indices eased in Japan, Hong Kong, and China (Nikkei 225 down ~0.1%, TOPIX ~0.2% lower, Hang Seng ~-2%, CSI 300 ~-1.1%), with Australia’s ASX 200 also lower. Oil prices rebounded, Brent near $97 and WTI above $90, as energy concerns persisted. Wall Street had closed at record highs previously on hopes of easing Middle East tensions, while traders awaited inflation data that could influence the Fed’s policy path.

Asia stocks drift lower as Iran tensions persist; Nikkei and KOSPI pull back from peaks

Asian equity markets eased after opening higher as persistent U.S.-Iran tensions and threats to oil supply kept investors cautious. The Nikkei 225 slipped about 1.1% after hitting an intraday record, and South Korea’s KOSPI fell roughly 0.5% despite strong chip-related earnings from SK Hynix and a rise in Samsung Electronics. Mainland China stocks also declined about 0.5%, with Shanghai and CSI 300 weaker and Hong Kong’s Hang Seng down around 1%. Australia’s ASX 200 and Singapore’s STI also fell ~1%. Oil hovered above $100 a barrel amid the Hormuz-related risk. U.S. markets had closed at or near records after Trump extended a ceasefire with Iran, but oil-supply concerns kept risk sentiment fragile.

China beat expectations with Q1 GDP up 5.0% and March industrial production up 5.7% (retail sales +1.7%), signaling resilient growth despite domestic demand mixed signals.

Asia stocks rally on US tech gains as Iran tensions and RBA decision loom

Asia's equity benchmarks rose with tech names leading gains after a Wall Street rally, as Nvidia’s momentum bolstered sentiment across regional markets (KOSPI near 3%, Nikkei about 0.5%, Hang Seng ~1%).

Asia stocks slide as Iran conflict keeps oil elevated and investors wary

Most Asian markets fell on Friday, with Japan and Korea leading declines and India headed for a weekly loss, as traders priced in the Iran conflict’s risk to oil supplies and inflation. Oil hovered near $100 a barrel amid fears of supply disruptions and Hormuz tensions, weighing on risk appetite and delaying potential Federal Reserve rate cuts.

Tech-led rally lifts Asia markets to fresh highs as rate worries ease

Asian stocks rose on Thursday as technology shares drove gains, offsetting rate-uncertainty, with South Korea’s KOSPI hitting a record near 5,673 as Samsung Electronics led memory-chip gains on AI demand and chip-price optimism; Samsung’s HBM4 mass production news and a chip-shortage backdrop supported pricing. Australia’s ASX 200 also reached a record around 9,118 on strength in mining and banks, while Japan’s Nikkei rose on a weaker yen boosting exporters. January exports in Korea surged about 34%, and softer domestic jobs data kept rate-hike bets in check, even as Fed signals remained hawkish. Mainland China and Hong Kong markets were closed for the Lunar New Year.
