Asia-Pacific Markets Set to Open Lower Amid U.S.-Iran Negotiations Uncertainty
Asia-Pacific markets were set to open lower on Tuesday as investors assessed uncertainty surrounding U.S.-Iran negotiations. Iran reportedly offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, contingent on the U.S. lifting its blockade, but it remains unclear if President Trump would accept this as a de-escalation pathway. Japanese and Hong Kong stock indices were poised for declines, while U.S. futures showed modest gains.
