    China's indexes turned lower as investors remained cautious amid renewed hostilities in the Middle East. 

    The Hang Seng Index decreased 1.1%, and the mainland-focused CSI 300 fell 1%.

    Chinese stocks remained under pressure after the U.S. and Iran exchanged aerial attacks, and investors feared that the prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz was likely to keep energy supply tight.

    Benchmark indexes struggled to advance after investors digested inflation reports released on Wednesday. The ongoing supply disruptions in the Middle East and elevated energy prices are contributing to domestic inflation. 

    Moreover, investors are worried that the ten-week-long rally in artificial intelligence stocks may have stretched valuation too far and are uncertain about the sustainability of the elevated level of investment in artificial infrastructure.

    Eoptolink tumbled 30% to ¥538.43 after the optical components maker announced its plans to list its shares on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. 

    Metal mining companies turned lower after copper, gold, silver, and platinum prices eased for the second consecutive week. 

    Zijin Mining Group decreased 2.8%, Zijin Gold International dropped 3%, and Aluminum Corporation of China edged up 1.4%.
