Context

Asia-Pacific stocks opening lower reflects investor sentiment weighed down by recent tech and communications sell-offs in the U.S., indicating a risk-off mood. Trump's extension of the Strait of Hormuz deadline suggests some easing geopolitical tensions, but the market's immediate focus appears to be on the spillover effects of U.S. declines rather than on improved outlooks from diplomatic maneuvers.
