    May 19, 2026, 8:02 AM EDT. Asian markets traded mixed on Tuesday with South Korea's Kospi plunging nearly 4%, hitting 7,271.66, driven by steep declines in tech giants like Hyundai (-8.9%), LG Electronics (-11.7%), Samsung Electronics (-2.0%), and SK Hynix (-5.2%).

Australia's S&P/ASX 200 gained 1.2%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng and Shanghai Composite rose 0.5% and 0.9% respectively. Oil prices remain volatile amid uncertainty over the Iran conflict disrupting tanker routes through the Strait of Hormuz, with Brent crude dropping to $110.51 and U.S. crude to $108.03 per barrel. Investors await key U.S. earnings from Nvidia, Target, Home Depot, and Walmart, as markets navigate geopolitical risks and mixed corporate outlooks.
