  • Oil jumps over 3% after US hits Iran; Asian stocks mixed
    July 8, 2026, 3:33 AM EDT. Oil prices climbed more than 3% after the US carried out strikes on Iran, following recent incidents involving ships in the Strait of Hormuz. Brent was last at $76.54 a barrel, while US crude traded at $72.72. Tensions have rattled oil markets again after a stretch of weaker prices. Asian equities were uneven: Tokyo's Nikkei fell 1.2%, the Kospi in South Korea tumbled 5.6%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 2.9%. Shares in Chinese AI firm Zhipu jumped 14% after its lock-up expired. US stocks closed lower, with the Nasdaq off 1.2% as chipmakers like Advanced Micro Devices and Intel lost ground. Traders remain quick to react to geopolitical risk and pressure in the AI sector.
