Oil Rebound Keeps Asia-Pacific Markets on Edge Amid Middle East Tension

Asia-Pacific equities climbed after Wall Street’s rally, helped by a rebound in oil prices but faced lingering Middle East uncertainty; Brent traded near $103.7 and WTI around $91.7 as major indices rose (Nikkei-225 +1.1%, Topix +1.87%, Kospi up ~1.5% intraday before trimming gains, Hang Seng +1.62%, CSI 300 +0.52%). Japan’s February CPI cooled to 1.3%, undershooting the 2% target. U.S. stock futures swung following Trump’s claim that he delayed strikes on Iran, a report Iranian officials disputed, while precious metals and other assets moved as risk sentiment shifted.

Nikkei 225 slides as Middle East tensions spike oil prices

Japan's Nikkei 225 plunged—dropping as much as 7.5% intraday and more than 4,200 points, the second-largest intraday drop on record—as worries about oil-supply disruptions from the Middle East push crude higher. WTI surged toward $119 per barrel, raising energy costs that could squeeze corporate profits and fuel inflation amid Strait of Hormuz disruptions that threaten about 20% of global oil supply.

Korean Stocks Plunge as Kospi Halts Trading in Tech-Led Selloff

South Korea’s Kospi plunged more than 12% intraday, triggering a circuit breaker on the Kospi and halting trading, as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix slumped and the market pulled back from a strong run last year. The weakness coincored with a broader regional selloff amid Middle East tensions and higher oil costs, while Japan’s Nikkei 225 fell about 3.9% and other Asian indices declined. Investors were also watching China’s Two Sessions and noting gains in gold and oil, underscoring a risk-off mood as energy costs and AI data-center considerations weigh sentiment.
