  • Asia-Pacific markets rise as oil prices ease after Trump delays Iran strike
    May 18, 2026, 8:14 PM EDT. Asia-Pacific stock futures rose Tuesday as oil prices eased following U.S. President Donald Trump's delay of a planned strike on Iran. West Texas Intermediate crude fell 1.19% to $107.37 per barrel, while Brent crude traded near $112. Japan's Nikkei 225 futures indicated gains, and Australian futures also traded higher despite lingering Middle East risks. Trump cited requests from Gulf leaders to call off the attack but warned military leaders to be ready for action if no deal is reached to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. Moody's noted low chances of a swift U.S.-Iran settlement, with the Strait of Hormuz remaining closed, impacting global oil trade. The market reaction reflects cautious optimism amid ongoing geopolitical tensions.
