Asian stocks, off to their best-ever start to a year, took a breather Wednesday with Japanese equities slipping amid rising tensions with China. Also, President Donald Trump said Venezuela would relinquish as much as 50 million barrels of oil to the US, declaring it would be sold with the proceeds benefitting both countries. For more on the market action, we turn to Garfield Reynolds, Bloomberg's Team Leader for Markets Live Asia.

And, we go to Las Vegas next, where the Consumer Electronics Show is underway. And Bloomberg had a chance to catch up with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Siemans AG CEO Roland Busch, and Advanced Micro Devices CEO Lisa Su. They all spoke to Bloomberg's Ed Ludlow.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

SK Hynix Inc. raised $26.5 billion in its American depositary receipt offering, as the South Korean memory chipmaker powered through volatility to deliver the largest ever US first-time share sale by a foreign company. The company sold 177.9 million ADRs for $149 each, according to a statement confirming an earlier Bloomberg News report. Each ADR is equivalent to a 10th of a Seoul-traded common share. At $26.5 billion, the offering tops Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.'s US debut to become the third biggest listing in history, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.

And for more analysis on SK Hynix, Bloomberg TV host Shery Ahn spoke to Brendan Burke, Research Director, Semiconductors, Supply Chain & Emerging Tech at the Futurum Group.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

The US military struck Iran for the second straight day, an escalation of violence that threatens to strain an already fragile ceasefire. The attacks came just hours after President Donald Trump at the NATO summit in Turkey said the US would probably target Iran again. The US launched attacks on Tuesday and revoked a waiver allowing new sales of Iranian oil in response to attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz that the administration blamed on the Islamic Republic. Oil extended its gains. We spoke to Stephen Stapczynski, Bloomberg's Asia Energy Team Leader.

Plus - China's consumer prices rose slower than expected and factory inflation showed signs of peaking, after a pullback in commodity costs with an easing of tensions over Iran last month. The consumer-price index decelerated to 1% in June from a year earlier, compared with a gain of 1.2% in the previous month, according to data released by the National Bureau of Statistics on Thursday. The median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of economists was 1.1%. Producer inflation accelerated slightly to 4.1% from a year ago, matching forecasts. On a month-on-month basis, factory prices declined 0.3% from May, their first drop since July 2025. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong spoke to Robin Xing, Chief China Economist at Morgan Stanley.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Oil prices rose and Asian stocks were little changed as investors assessed the implications of renewed geopolitical tensions for energy supplies and risk assets. The moves came after US benchmarks fell on Tuesday, with a gauge of chip stocks dropping more than 4%. The Nasdaq 100 slid 1.8%. For more on the market action, we spoke to Paul Dobson, Bloomberg's Executive Editor for Asia Markets.

Plus - The US launched airstrikes in Iran and revoked a waiver that allowed it to sell oil globally, further imperiling a peace agreement after a series of attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz. The US Treasury Department announced it was barring new sales of Iranian oil after July 7, a key incentive intended to get Tehran to abide by a deal that calls for reopening the strait. The American actions marked the most serious threat yet to the interim agreement signed between the two countries' leaders on June 17, and threatened to scuttle negotiations aimed at achieving a permanent peace. Bloomberg TV host Paul Allen spoke to Jessica Genauer, Public Policy Institute Academic Director and Associate Professor in International Relations at the University of New South Wales (UNSW).
