  • Asia-Pacific Markets Slide Amid Middle East Tensions and Oil Price Swings
    March 11, 2026, 8:40 PM EDT. Asia-Pacific stocks dropped sharply on Thursday as investors reacted to soaring oil volatility linked to ongoing Iran conflicts. The International Energy Agency announced a historic release of 400 million barrels of crude oil to curb supply disruptions, while the U.S. Energy Secretary pledged to release 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. Nonetheless, oil prices surged, with West Texas Intermediate rising over 6% to $92.91 per barrel. Major regional indexes suffered losses: Australia's S&P/ASX 200 fell 1.56%, Japan's Nikkei 225 declined 1.6%, and South Korea's Kospi edged down 0.75%. U.S. markets also weakened as the Dow lost 0.61%, weighed by concerns over the U.S.-Iran conflict and its impact on energy costs.
