The US-Israeli war against Iran has exposed further divisions between the two countries after an Israeli strike on Iran’s largest gasfield angered US allies in the Gulf and prompted Donald Trump to say he knew nothing in advance about the attack – a claim that Israeli officials disputed. Speaking in the Oval Office on Thursday, Trump said he had spoken to Benjamin Netanyahu following the strikes on Iran’s South Pars gasfield – part of a reserve shared with Qatar – and had told the Israeli prime minister to refrain from further attacks that could escalate a regional war on energy infrastructure. “I told him: ‘Don’t do that,’ and he won’t do that,” Trump said. “But on occasion he’ll do something, and if I don’t like it … and so we’re not doing that any more.” Also today, Israel’s prime minister denied that Donald Trump was “dragged” into the war by Israel, as he tried to pour cold water on suggestions that Israel influenced the US’s decision to attack Iran amid growing signs that the US and Israel are not aligned on their war aims. “Does anyone really think that someone can tell President Trump what to do?” Netanyahu said, later adding: “I misled no one.” Catching up? Here’s what happened on 18 March 2026.

Written by: Skerdian Meta • • 3 min read • Quick overview AMD shares have rebounded above $200 due to renewed investor confidence driven by strategic developments in artificial intelligence. A key partnership with Samsung Electronics will enhance AMD's AI supply chain by providing advanced memory solutions for enterprise data centers. Supportive regulatory changes in the U.S. and expanding partnerships, including one with Celestica, are bolstering AMD's AI ecosystem. Despite strong momentum, AMD faces intense competition from NVIDIA and potential delays in its next-generation AI accelerators. Live AMD Chart AMD 0.0000 MARKETS TREND [[AMD-graph]] AMD shares are moving higher as new partnerships, regulatory relief, and AI expansion efforts reinforce its position in the fast-growing semiconductor race. AMD Rebounds on Strategic Momentum Shares of Advanced Micro Devices have rebounded above $200 after recent weakness, reflecting renewed investor confidence driven by strategic developments in artificial intelligence. The stock had fallen below this level last week despite solid earnings, as broader market pressure and geopolitical tensions weighed on technology names. This week’s recovery comes after AMD announced a key supply agreement that strengthens its position in next-generation AI infrastructure, helping reverse the earlier decline. Samsung Partnership Boosts AI Supply Chain A major catalyst behind the move is AMD’s expanding relationship with Samsung Electronics. The companies confirmed a partnership focused on supplying advanced memory solutions critical for AI workloads. Samsung will provide high-bandwidth memory (HBM4) for AMD’s MI455X accelerators, which are designed for enterprise data centers. In addition, the company will supply DDR5 memo...

(RTTNews) - The Hong Kong stock market on Thursday halted the three-day winning streak in which it had advanced more than 550 points or 2.2 percent. The Hang Seng Index now rests just above the 25,500-point plateau and it may consolidate further on Friday. The global forecast for the Asian markets is weak on concerns over the Middle East conflict, although easing oil prices may limit the downside. The European and U.S. markets were down and the Asian bourses are expected to open in similar fashion. The Hang Seng finished sharply lower on Thursday following losses from the entertainment, property and technology companies. For the day, the index plunged 524.84 points or 2.02 percent to finish at 25,500.58 after trading between 25,449.06 and 25,737.83. Among the actives, Alibaba Group plunged 4.14 percent, while Alibaba Health Info tumbled 2.91 percent, ANTA Sports shed 1.72 percent, China Life Insurance, China Mengniu Dairy skidded 1.87 percent, China Resources Land stumbled 3.03 percent, CITIC fell 1.04 percent, CNOOC surged 4.52 percent, CSPC Pharmaceutical sank 1.85 percent, Galaxy Entertainment plummeted 4.59 percent, Haier Smart Home slumped 1.91 percent, Hang Lung Properties and WuXi Biologics both crashed 3.94 percent, Henderson Land contracted 2.39 percent, Hong Kong & China Gas rallied 1.78 percent, Industrial and Commercial Bank of China collected 0.15 percent, JD.com dropped 1.86 percent, Lenovo retreated 2.50 percent, Li Auto lost 1.27 percent, Li Ning declined 2.42 percent, Meituan added 0.50 percent, New World Development cratered 4.05 percent, Nongfu Spring and CLP Holdings both slipped 0.74 percent, Techtronic Industries tanked 3.86 percent and Xiaomi Corporation soared 3.36 percent. The lead from Wall Street is soft as the major averages opened sharply lower on Thursday and stayed that way for most of the session, although a late rally pared the damage to mild by the day's end. The Dow dropped 203.72 points or 0.44 percent to finish at 46,021.43, whil...

Xi Jinping has been preparing for a crisis like this for years. China must secure its energy supply “in its own hands”, its president was reported to have said during a visit to one of its vast oilfields in 2021. The US-Israel war on Iran plunged the Middle East into a deep conflict, with the strait of Hormuz – one of the most important waterways in global trade – all but closed and key energy facilities across the region under attack. Oil exports from the Middle East have tumbled 61% over recent weeks, according to maritime tracking consultancy Kpler – roiling countries across Asia, which relied on the region for 59% of its crude imports in 2025, and have been left racing to conserve energy. But China, the world’s second-largest economy, appears to be in a very different position to much of the continent. Its energy system has “significant buffers”, Michal Meidan, the head of China energy research at the Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, an independent research institute, explained in a recent paper – from huge reserves of oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) to a robust domestic supply, including alternative energy sources, such as wind and solar. China, which usually imports around half its crude supplies from the Middle East, is not as exposed as other Asian economies. “While a very high proportion, it is limited when compared to Japan, India or Korea,” said Meidan. Japan, for example, sources about 95% of its oil imports from the region. Iran has continued to ship to China, the primary buyer of its oil, despite the war. China’s imports of Iranian crude have slipped only marginally, according to Kpler estimates, from 1.57m barrels per day in February to 1.47m barrels per day in March. Chinese vessels operated by state-owned firms are meanwhile working to navigate the broader region. The Kai Jing supertanker diverted to pick up Saudi crude at a Red Sea port earlier this month, Chinese media outlet Caixin reported, and is set to dock in China in early April. And...
