Asian stock markets suffered steep losses Wednesday morning after new US and Iranian attacks sent oil prices higher. Concerns about energy costs and rising inflation spread across markets.
Experts warned that the developments could have far-reaching financial consequences. The business briefing also flagged a proposed law that could lead to a large number of lawsuits, a woman who says she pays tax at a rate of 115 percent, and ATP’s 14.5 percent return.
ATP’s chief executive said the focus should shift to something else in the future, though the briefing did not provide further details.
