On March 18, 2026, Asia shares were mostly higher as benchmarks in Japan and South Korea surged while oil prices eased despite Iranian attacks on Gulf neighbors. Tokyo's Nikkei rose 2.6% to 55,106.69 and South Korea's Kospi jumped 3.8% to 5,854.28, as Brent crude fell to about $101 per barrel; markets also awaited a Federal Reserve rate decision later in the day.
