Asian markets saw a rebound on March 10, as oil prices fell below US$100 per barrel amid optimism regarding the Iran conflict. US President Trump indicated potential waivers on oil sanctions, contributing to a 6.9% drop in WTI crude to US$88. Major Asian indices, including Singapore's Straits Times and Hong Kong's Hang Seng, rose significantly. Despite this, challenges remain, particularly with the Strait of Hormuz still closed. Analysts predict Brent crude will stabilize between US$80 and US$90 per barrel, while emerging-market currencies in Asia gained strength.
