  1. Asian Stocks Slip as Oil Rises and Chipmakers Hit

    Asian shares traded lower on Monday as climbing oil prices and rising global bond yields weighed on investor sentiment. Chipmakers came under pressure following a decision by OpenAI to pause the training of some advanced artificial intelligence models.
