Stock Market Today

  • Asian Stocks Rise, Oil Prices Slide as UAE Exits OPEC
    April 29, 2026, 1:13 AM EDT. Asian stocks mostly advanced led by Hong Kong's Hang Seng gaining 1.4%, while oil prices declined following the United Arab Emirates' announcement to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The UAE, a major oil producer and third largest within OPEC, cited frustration over production quotas limiting its output. Brent crude oil fell 0.5% to $110.71 a barrel, and U.S. crude declined 0.6% to $99.32. The exit is expected to increase oil output but reduce OPEC's control over global supply. Market attention remains on U.S.-Iran peace talks and the Strait of Hormuz reopening prospects, factors influencing oil prices amid ongoing geopolitical tensions. U.S. stock markets retreated, with tech stocks under pressure, ahead of Fed interest rate decisions.
