Memory remains one of the critical bottlenecks in the global AI buildout, and neither SK hynix nor Samsung suddenly lost their strategic importance because the market had one violent session.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There were also gains in Hong Kong, Sydney, Singapore and Manila, though Tokyo, Taipei, Shanghai and Wellington fell again.<\/p>\n<p>Eyes turn later in the day on the release earnings from US chipmaker Micron Technology, which will provide a fresh idea about the state of demand in the sector and whether the AI rally still has legs.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices continued to fall on optimism for an eventual deal to end the war in Iran, as two maritime tracking platforms said traffic through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday reached its highest level since the war began.<\/p>\n<p>However, disputes over the vital waterway, nuclear inspections and missiles exposed early strains in negotiations.<\/p>\n<p>US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said Tuesday that Washington would not accept Iranian tolls or fees on the strait \u2014 through which a fifth of oil usually passes.<\/p>\n<p>Iran and Oman said in a joint statement that they would study the administration of the trade route and the costs to be charged for services, while insisting on their sovereignty over it.<\/p>\n<p>But Rubio, opening a regional tour in the United Arab Emirates, said: \u201cIt\u2019s an international waterway. No country is allowed to charge tolls or fees on an international waterway.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Tehran\u2019s top negotiator, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, had earlier said Hormuz \u201cwill never return\u201d to the pre-war status quo, despite both sides agreeing to set up communication lines to keep it open.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Key figures around 0230 GMT \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Seoul \u2013 Kospi: UP 3.8 percent at 8,514.66\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo \u2013 Nikkei 225: DOWN 0.4\u00a0percent at 69,523.79 (break)<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong \u2013 Hang Seng Index: UP 0.2 percent at 23,371.67<\/p>\n<p>Shanghai \u2013 Composite: DOWN 0.1 percent at 4,101.39<\/p>\n<p>West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.7 percent at $72.70 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.7 percent at $76.56 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/dollar: DOWN at $1.1376 from $1.1383 on Tuesday<\/p>\n<p>Pound\/dollar: UP at $1.3202 from $1.3196<\/p>\n<p>Dollar\/yen: UP at 161.58 yen from 161.52 yen<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/pound: DOWN at 86.17 pence from 86.23 pence<\/p>\n<p>New York \u2013 Dow: DOWN 0.1\u00a0percent at 51,666.84 (close)<\/p>\n<p>London \u2013 FTSE 100: DOWN 0.1 percent at 10,428.85 (close)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
