  • Asian Shares Rise as AI Boosts Tech; Oil Prices Decline Amid Middle East Tensions
    May 27, 2026, 3:27 AM EDT. Asian markets mostly advanced Wednesday, led by a 2% surge in South Korea's Kospi and strong gains in Taiwan driven by heavy buying of technology and chipmaker stocks amid the global AI boom. Tokyo's Nikkei closed flat despite early gains. In the U.S., the S&P 500 reached new record highs, led by Micron Technology's 19.3% jump after UBS raised its price target, underscoring continued semiconductor demand. However, oil prices fell as market hopes for an easing of Middle East conflicts, which have disrupted supplies via the Strait of Hormuz, signaled potential relief for global inflation pressures. Despite cautious optimism on Iran war talks, ongoing fighting maintains some uncertainty for markets.
