HONG KONG (AP) — Oil prices fell Wednesday and Asian shares were mostly trading lower as South Korea's Kospi extended its losses after falling more than 16% over the past two days. Samsung Electronics gained 2.4%, after the South Korean technology giant reported a record operating profit for the latest quarter, largely in line with estimates. That was still lower than what analysts had expected and disappointed investors dumped its shares. Oil prices fell on Thursday even as the U.S. and Iran resumed exchanging attacks. Maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial waterway for oil transport, remains limited, putting pressure on global supplies.
