  • Asian Shares Slide as Oil Surges Above $111 Amid Middle East Tensions, Wall Street Falls
    March 19, 2026, 12:49 AM EDT. Asian stocks declined sharply Thursday after Wall Street slumped due to rising crude oil prices exceeding $111 a barrel amid escalating tensions in the Middle East. The surge in oil, driven by conflict-related supply fears in the Persian Gulf, heightened inflation concerns exacerbated by a U.S. report indicating inflation pressures before the conflict. Expectations of sustained higher interest rates by the Federal Reserve pushed Treasury yields and the U.S. dollar higher, adding pressure on Asian markets. Japan's Nikkei fell 2.5% after the Bank of Japan maintained its interest rate, citing geopolitical risks. South Korea, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Australia, and Taiwan markets also fell. The energy supply disruptions and rising inflation risk threaten to weigh on the global economy and financial markets in the near term.
