Asian markets experienced a dip on Thursday as Wall Street's recent tech surge showed signs of slowing down. Crude oil prices also fell slightly after Iran and Oman reached a new agreement regarding the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, Sandisk and Western Digital faced significant declines following disappointing earnings reports.
