Asian Stocks Fall on Middle East Tensions

Asian equity markets mostly declined on Monday as investors assessed escalating tensions in the Middle East, with rising oil prices keeping inflationary pressures and interest-rate hike expectations in focus. The US and Iran exchanged fresh missile strikes over the weekend amid ongoing disputes over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, driving crude prices higher. South Korea’s KOSPI tumbled 5%, weighed down by heavyweight chipmakers SK Hynix and Samsung Electronics. Equities in Japan, Australia, and China also declined, while Hong Kong shares extended their gains.
