China's 'Two Sessions' Kick Off Ahead of Trump Tariff Barrage

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Asian stocks followed their US peers lower in early trading Friday, with oil prices in focus on growing fears that the war in Iran will further crimp energy supplies and boost inflation. Brent oil traded near $100 a barrel as both US President Donald Trump and Iran's new supreme leader struck defiant tones, with the latter saying the Strait of Hormuz should remain shut. Preventing Iran from having nuclear weapons and threatening the Middle East is "of far greater interest and importance to me" than the cost of oil, Trump said in a social media post. For more on the market action, we spoke to Winnie Hsu, Bloomberg's Asia Equities Reporter.

And for more analysis on how the conflict in the Middle East is weighing on the equity market, we heard from Garry Evans, Head of Research Solutions at BCA Research. He spoke to Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong on the Asia Trade.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Oil's advance showed concerns over an escalating Iran war outweighed relief offered by an emergency release of crude reserves by wealthy nations. The US plans to release 172 million barrels from its emergency oil reserve as nations around the world work to ease surging crude and fuel prices. That's part of the plan by member countries of the International Energy Agency to discharge 400 million barrels from reserves globally, its largest-ever release. For more analysis, we spoke to Mark Cranfield, Bloomberg's MLIV Strategist.

And for markets perspective on the oil story, we heard from Dilin Wu, Research Strategist at Pepperstone. She spoke to Bloomberg's Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong.
