Meanwhile, rising U.S.-Iran geopolitical tensions pushed oil prices higher, further dampening investor risk appetite across the region. South Korea’s KOSPI is closed today as South Korea is observing Constitution Day, a national public holiday. Japan’s Nikkei plunged driven by an appreciating Yen, ongoing concerns over US trade tariffs, and broader anxieties surrounding semiconductor manufacturers.
