The firm\u2019s shares rose more than six percent in Taipei.<\/p>\n<p>The report comes at the start of an earnings season that will be pored over for an idea about companies\u2019 plans for AI and their outlook in light of the huge sums stumped up so far.<\/p>\n<p>Also in view is the Wall Street debut of South Korean chip titan SK hynix, which sees its $29 billion listing on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Crude prices extended losses as tankers continued to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and on optimism over US-Iran peace talks.<\/p>\n<p>However, SPI Asset Management\u2019s Stephen Innes warned the benefits could take some time to feed through the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEnergy knock-on effects rarely arrive all at once,\u201d he wrote. \u201cFirst crude moves, then freight, transport, consumer confidence, corporate margins, inflation expectations, and eventually the questions central bankers would rather avoid.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA few more tankers moving safely through Hormuz may take the edge off the immediate panic premium, but it does not undo the cost pressures already working their way through the global economy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And Dr. Karsten Junius, chief economist at Bank J. Safra Sarasin, added: \u201cOil exports remain well below pre-war levels and bottlenecks are likely to persist.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMeanwhile, efforts to re-build strategic and commercial reserves should support demand. As a result, oil prices are likely to settle around $75-$80 a barrel over the coming year, keeping the inflation trajectory more elevated this year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 Key figures around 0230 GMT \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Tokyo \u2013 Nikkei 225: DOWN 1.2 percent at 68,919.14 (break)<\/p>\n<p>Seoul \u2013 Kospi: DOWN 2.4 percent at 7,894.58\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hong Kong \u2013 Hang Seng Index: UP 0.4 percent at 23,440.64<\/p>\n<p>Shanghai \u2013 Composite: UP 0.3 percent at 4,055.47<\/p>\n<p>Dollar\/yen: UP at 161.79 yen from 161.29 yen on Friday<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/dollar: DOWN at $1.1430 from $1.1442<\/p>\n<p>Pound\/dollar: DOWN at $1.3341 from $1.3355<\/p>\n<p>Euro\/pound: DOWN at 85.65 pence from 85.68 pence<\/p>\n<p>West Texas Intermediate: DOWN 0.1 percent at $68.64 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>Brent North Sea Crude: DOWN 0.3 percent at $71.93 a barrel<\/p>\n<p>London \u2013 FTSE 100: UP 0.3 percent\u00a0at 10,679.03 (close)<\/p>\n<p>New York \u2013 Dow: Closed for public holiday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
