TOKYO (AP) — Global shares sank on Monday after Wall Street ended last week with its worst day since October, while oil prices jumped more than $4 as fighting flared between Israel and Iran.
South Korea's Kospi led the global retreat, plunging 8.3% on heavy selling of technology shares and extending losses that on Friday gave the S&P 500 its biggest single day drop in months.
The future for the S&P 500 was up 0.2%, while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 0.3%.
