Tech investment giant SoftBank plunged more than 12 percent as the New York Times reported that ChatGPT-maker OpenAI is considering holding off an initial public offering until 2027.<\/p>\n<p>There were also steep losses in Hong Kong, Shanghai, Singapore and Taipei.<\/p>\n<p>The losses came even as investors pared expectations for US interest rate hikes after data showed the Federal Reserve\u2019s favoured gauge of inflation came in slightly lower than expected in May.<\/p>\n<p>Oil prices resumed the downward shift that has marked the week, having risen around two percent Thursday on news that a cargo ship was damaged by an unknown projectile off Oman\u2019s coast in Hormuz.<\/p>\n<p>That prompted the International Maritime Organisation to halt an evacuation of crews trapped by the US-Iran war and sparked concerns about the shaky truce put in place as the two foes hold peace talks.<\/p>\n<p>US media reported that Iran struck the ship in the strait, and the Iranian agency that claims to regulate traffic there issued a warning afterwards.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAny passage through routes outside the framework designated by PGSA will not be covered by safe passage guarantees,\u201d Persian Gulf Strait Authority said on X.<\/p>\n<p>Iran has said it plans to introduce what it terms maritime service fees, which could complicate negotiations with Washington.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Key figures around 0210 GMT \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Seoul \u2013 Kospi: DOWN 4.1 percent at 8,559.73<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo \u2013 Nikkei 225: DOWN 3.5 percent at 69,820.28<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong \u2013 Hang Seng Index: DOWN 1.4 percent at 22,757.96<\/p>\n<p>Shanghai \u2013 Composite: DOWN 1.1 percent at 4,075.78<\/p>\n<p>West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.9 percent at $71.30 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.9percent at $74.56 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/dollar: DOWN at $1.1362 from $1.1374 on Thursday<\/p>\n<p>Pound\/dollar: DOWN at $1.3192 from $1.3199<\/p>\n<p>Dollar\/yen: DOWN at 161.80 yen from 161.81 yen<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/pound: DOWN at 86.12 pence from 86.18 pence<\/p>\n<p>New York \u2013 Dow: UP 0.1 percent at 51.920.62 (close)<\/p>\n<p>London \u2013 FTSE 100: UP 0.7 percent\u00a0at 10,529.89 (close)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
