Asian stocks fall as US and Iran exchange fire – business live
Asian stocks fell sharply as the US and Iran exchanged their largest strikes since a April ceasefire, following Iran's downing of a US helicopter near the Strait of Hormuz. The incident caused Brent crude to dip below $90 and the Philly Semiconductor Index to drop 8.62% intraday, though both partially rebounded. Uncertainty over peace talks and Hormuz's reopening is expected to persist.
