Asian Stocks Slide on Iran War Escalation
Asian stocks fell sharply Thursday as investors digested a series of attacks on energy infrastructure in the Middle East and the weakness on Wall Street in the previous session.
South Korea’s KOSPI Composite index declined 2.7% after its 5% jump in the previous session. The red-hot stock market is up 37% so far in 2026 but has been very volatile since the Iran war began.
China’s Shanghai Composite slipped 1.4%, while Japan’s Nikkei index closed 3.4% down, after jumping 2.9% in the previous session.
