The U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran has impacted global markets, with oil prices dropping and stocks seeing a respite after Iran indicated to the UN that it would allow ships from non-combatant countries to pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite the conflict, Asian equities closed up, with South Korea's KOSPI gaining around 1.5% and Japan's Nikkei nearly 3%. Meanwhile, South Korean chipmaker SK Hynix is reportedly planning to list in the US in the U.K. and SpaceX could file for an IPO soon. However, uncertainty remains over who the US is negotiating with and whether a swift solution to energy disruption can be achieved.
