Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Brent crude traded above $112 per barrel as strikes between Iran and Israel on critical energy facilities — which also caused extensive damage to the world's largest liquefied natural gas export plant in Qatar — raised concerns of a more lasting impact from the conflict.

We speak to David Finnerty, Bloomberg's FX and Rates Strategist.

Asian equities rose at the open after optimism that more tankers would be able to pass through the crucial Strait of Hormuz lifted gauges on Wall Street. Risk appetite was also boosted by expectations that major economies could release petroleum reserves to offset potential supply disruptions, after President Donald Trump renewed calls for allies to help safeguard the Strait of Hormuz. Threats to flows through the vital shipping lane continued to fan inflation worries as investors brace for a slate of central-bank meetings this week. We speak to Paul Dobson, Executive Editor for Asia Markets.

The meeting between the leaders of the world's two largest economies is currently set to begin later this month. We heard from Mara Rudman, Practitioner Senior Fellow at University of Virginia's Miller Center. She spoke to Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn.
