|
7.2
Asian stocks plunged on March 9 as the US and Israel's war on Iran drove oil prices sharply higher and risk sentiment collapsed. South Korea's KOSPI fell as much as 9% intraday and ended down 6%, while Japan's Nikkei tumbled up to 7.6% intraday, closing down 5%; WTI topped $110 and Brent rose above $100 per barrel. The moves threaten energy-importing Asian economies and currency stability.
