19:35Now PlayingBusiness and finance news from the Asia-Pacific.
Crude oil surged above $100 a barrel for the first time since 2022 due to escalating hostilities in the Middle East and worsening strains on oil shipping, sending stocks and Treasuries lower. Brent climbed 18% to around $109 a barrel, adding to last week's 28% surge. Traders are braced for further upheaval with the Iran conflict entering a second week, major producers curbing output and traffic through the crucial Strait of Hormuz effectively halted. For more on how this affects the markets, we spoke to Paul Dobson, Executive Editor for Asia Markets.
Plus - what does the oil surge mean for the economies in the Asia Pacific? We heard from Qian Wang, Vanguard Group Chief APAC Economist. She spoke to Bloomberg TV hosts, Haidi Stroud-Watts and Avril Hong.
