Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Crude oil surged above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022 due to escalating hostilities in the Middle East and worsening strains on oil shipping, sending stocks and Treasuries lower. Brent climbed 18% to around $109 a barrel, adding to last week's 28% surge. Traders are braced for further upheaval with the Iran conflict entering a second week, major producers curbing output and traffic through the crucial Strait of Hormuz effectively halted. For more on how this affects the markets, we spoke to Paul Dobson, Executive Editor for Asia Markets.

Plus - what does the oil surge mean for the economies in the Asia Pacific? We heard from Qian Wang, Vanguard Group Chief APAC Economist. She spoke to Bloomberg TV hosts, Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

The US-Israeli offensive against Iran has rattled energy markets, driving crude oil to multi-year highs on fears that disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz may choke supplies and reignite inflation. That came as equity investors confront stretched valuations after an artificial intelligence-fueled rally pushed stocks to elevated levels. We spoke to Winnie Wu, Head of APAC Equity Strategy at Bank of America Global Research.

Plus - Goldman Sachs Natural Gas Research Head Samantha Dart says a scenario where Brent crude prices cross the 100 dollar threshold as "possible" if the Strait of Hormuz were to experience several weeks of interrupted oil flow. She spoke to Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Asian equities rebounded, with South Korea leading gains after its worst rout on record, as sentiment showed signs of a recovery following an initial bout of volatility sparked by the Middle East conflict. In China, they set a growth target of 4.5% to 5%, its most modest in more than three decades, in a shift towards more sustainable growth drivers. For more, we turn to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.

Plus - Goldman Sachs Group Chief Executive Officer David Solomon said he's watching the private credit market for 'frothiness,' though he hasn't seen anything that gives him significant cause for concern. Speaking on the sidelines of the firm's inaugural 'Australia Week,' Solomon exclusively told Bloomberg that markets' 'benign' reaction reflects cautious stance on figuring out the endgame. He also shared his 'glass half full' outlook on the prospects for artificial intelligence.
