Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Asian stocks hovered near record highs in holiday-thinned trading as optimism that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz will restore oil flows and curb inflation pressures buoyed risk appetite. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was little changed after five straight days of gains, while the chip-heavy Kospi was the top performer in the region, jumping 2.6%. A gauge of the sector in the US surged more than 6% to an all-time high, led by Intel Corp., after President Donald Trump said the company would work with Apple Inc. to design and manufacture semiconductors in the country. We speak to Lianting Tu, Bloomberg's Managing Editor for Asia Equities.

Plus - The US-Iran interim peace deal took effect and shipping started returning to the Strait of Hormuz as the US declared an end to its blockade and a complex negotiating period over Tehran's nuclear program began in earnest. US Vice President JD Vance told reporters Thursday at the White House that the 60-day clock for working out the contentious details in the so-called memorandum of understanding signed late Wednesday had started ticking. He downplayed concerns Iran could eventually impose tolls on traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a move that would turn the crucial transport chokepoint — widely considered international waters — into a moneymaker for Tehran. Bloomberg TV hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn speaks to Jessie Moritz, Senior Lecturer in Political Economy -- ANU Centre for Arab and Islamic Studies.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Federal Reserve Chairman Kevin Warsh vowed to restore price stability following his first policy meeting since taking the helm of the US central bank, after officials left interest rates unchanged and signaled growing support for rate hikes this year. "Persistently high prices are a burden for the American people, but the recent past need not be prologue," Warsh said in his debut press conference as chairman. Officials "are unambiguous and unanimous. This committee will deliver price stability." At the same time Warsh played down somewhat the projections from his colleagues showing nine officials foresee at least one quarter-point hike this year, with six anticipating at least two. Another nine expected no move or a cut. We speak to Jeffrey Roach, Chief Economist for LPL Financial..

And for more analysis on the Fed's decision, Bloomberg TV host Avril Hong spoke to Homin Lee, Senior Macro Strategist at Lombard Odier.

Business and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.

Bonds advanced ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy decision, as a slide in oil prices to a three-month low helped ease concerns of a renewed inflation shock.

Investors are also reassessing the global interest-rate outlook as the Fed meets for the first time under Chairman Kevin Warsh, with some expecting no changes this week and a shift in how the Fed communicates with markets. We speak to David Finnerty, Bloomberg's FX and Rates Strategist.

Plus - the US and Iran are preparing to formally sign an interim peace deal that's left both sides claiming victory, with details of the accord still emerging and leaving many European governments, energy investors and shipping companies with reservations about how fast the Strait of Hormuz can return to pre-war conditions. Bloomberg TV Hosts Haidi Stroud-Watts and Shery Ahn spoke to Parash Jain, HSBC Global Head of Transport and Logistics Research about his outlook on shipping ahead of Hormuz reopening.
