Asian markets opened cautiously on Tuesday, influenced by oil prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Iran. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index fell 0.3%, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index down 1.3%. Oil prices remain elevated, reviving inflation fears, while the Japanese yen's volatility adds to market unease. The session was thin due to holidays in Japan and South Korea, leading to exaggerated market movements. Investors are wary of potential supply disruptions and military escalations, making the market fragile.
