Brent crude slipped to just under $100 a barrel, and Asian equities responded unevenly. The Nikkei and South Korea’s Kospi posted gains while India’s market fell, and the Japanese yen jumped to a six‑month high.

Investors were cautioned that Middle‑East tensions and the pending U.S. consumer‑price index release were shaping sentiment, a point stressed by the Wall Street Journal. investingLive noted the yen’s surge as a currency‑risk response. The combination of geopolitical strain and macro‑data uncertainty complicates the view that higher oil prices will uniformly boost regional markets, leaving traders to watch whether the rally translates into broader gains.
