(RTTNews) - Asian stocks ended mixed on Tuesday as oil prices fluctuated, and U.S. President Donald Trump sought to delay his upcoming trip to China. Oil prices were up nearly 3 percent in Asian trade after Iran set a massive natural gas field in the United Arab Emirates ablaze, adding to Investor anxiety over energy disruptions. The U.S. dollar index ticked higher, and gold held steady above $5,000 an ounce as investors braced for a slew of central bank decisions, including the U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting scheduled for Wednesday. China's Shanghai Composite index fell 0.85 percent to 4,049.91 after U.S. President Donald Trump said that he is planning to delay a high stakes visit to China later in March by about a month because of the Middle East conflict. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index ended up 0.13 percent at 25,868.54, giving up some early gains. Japanese markets ended on a flat note as the yen remained weak despite verbal warnings from authorities to intervene in currency markets. Just days before the policy decision, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda said today that underlying inflation was gradually accelerating toward the central bank's 2 percent target because of rising oil prices. The Nikkei average finished marginally lower at 53,700.39 while the broader Topix index ended 0.45 percent higher at 3,627.07.

Commerzbank AG Chief Executive Officer Bettina Orlopp vowed to boost earnings in an effort to demonstrate the bank is better on its own, a day after receiving a takeover bid from UniCredit SpA . “We are currently thinking about accelerating” the process of raising Commerzbank’s profitability, Orlopp said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Tuesday in London. “That is in the interest of all shareholders...
Commerzbank AG Chief Executive Officer Bettina Orlopp vowed to boost earnings in an effort to demonstrate the bank is better on its own, a day after receiving a takeover bid from UniCredit SpA . “We are currently thinking about accelerating” the process of raising Commerzbank’s profitability, Orlopp said in a Bloomberg TV interview on Tuesday in London. “That is in the interest of all shareholders.” The comments follow a low-ball €35 billion ($40 billion) offer for Commerzbank from UniCredit CEO Andrea Orcel on Monday, demonstrating how Orlopp is seeking to project confidence in her standalone strategy for the German lender. She can also count on the backing from the German government, which on Monday reiterated its opposition to a takeover by UniCredit. Orlopp said last month that full-year profit is expected to exceed the previous outlook of €3.2 billion. “Our existing guidance should be considered as a floor,” a company spokesman clarified after the Tuesday interview. “We signaled at the time that we see considerable upside potential.” Read More: Orcel Reinforces Commerzbank Ambition With €35 Billion Offer With a premium of just 4% over the Friday close, Orcel’s bid is only designed to push UniCredit’s stake past 30% while not giving it full control of Commerzbank. The Italian lender can subsequently choose to buy more shares in the German firm on the open market without triggering a legal requirement to make a bid, which otherwise would have happened when crossing the 30% threshold. “This is an offer at a very low price,” Orlopp said in the interview on Tuesday. Under Orlopp, who took over just weeks after Orcel first disclosed an interest in buying Commerzbank in late 2024, the German firm has taken strides in cutting costs and delivering higher shareholder returns. The lender’s share price has roughly doubled since she took over, though it’s down more than 10% since the beginning of the year. Orcel said his latest move is intended to open a “constructive dialo...

European stocks rose for a second day, the first time this month, led by gains in energy shares as oil prices rose. The Stoxx Europe 600 added 0.7% by the close, with TotalEnergies SE and Shell Plc among the biggest contributors. Energy stocks have climbed for eight straight days to a fresh record on Tuesday as Brent crude soars to over $100 a barrel. “After the sharp spikes in implied volatility across both equities and oil, a meaningful chunk of the risk repricing appears to be in the rearview mirror,” said Mathias Heim , chief investment officer at Bellecapital. Among individual stocks, Springer Nature AG & Co. gained more than 12% after the German publishing group reported strong earnings . Oil refiner Neste Oyj rose nearly 6% after Barclays Plc upgraded the Finnish stock, citing higher fossil fuel refining margins. On the downside, Amplifon SpA shares fell for a second day after the company agreed to buy GN Store Nord’s hearing-aid business, paying cash and issuing shares as part of the deal. Indra Sistemas SA shares fell 4.2% after El Confidencial reported that the government is planning to ask Chairman Ángel Escribano to step down from the defense firm. The two days of gains come as a reprieve for European stocks, which are still set for the worst month in three and a half years. Investor optimism for European growth this year has dropped sharply since the war as concerns over stagflation mount, according to a Bank of America European fund manager survey. The survey found a net 29% of fund managers now expect an acceleration for the European economy, down from a record 74% a month ago.

NicoElNino TruBridge ( TBRG ) has postponed its fourth quarter and year-end 2025 earnings release and conference call, previously scheduled for Monday, March 16, 2026, to allow additional time for the completion of its year-end audit procedures, sending shares 8% lower in Tuesday's premarket trading. TruBridge will issue a subsequent press release confirming the date of the release as soon as possible, it said in a statement . "While conducting final procedures in connection with the preparation of TruBridge’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, errors were identified in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as out-of-period errors in the condensed financial statements for the quarters ended March 31, June 30, and September 30, 2025." "The majority of these errors relate to accounting for revenue, software development costs, and share-based payments." As a result, TruBridge ( TBRG ) is required to make revisions to its previously issued consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, it said, adding TruBridge believes that such errors did not result in a material misstatement of its previously issued financial statements, and the errors are non-cash in nature and do not impact TruBridge’s operations or liquidity.
