  "account": "Rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions weighed on Asian stock markets on Wednesday, preventing them from capitalizing on Wall Street's record highs. Storms affecting the Gulf of Mexico and increasing tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran-backed Huthi rebels in Yemen drove oil prices to new heights. The Brent crude barrel, a North Sea variety, rose 0.8 percent to $101.40 per barrel, while U.S. oil (WTI) climbed 0.8 percent to $90.15 per barrel. Gold prices remained firm at $4,165.53 per troy ounce. The Nikkei Index slipped 0.9 percent to 70,074 points. The broader MSCI index of Asian stocks outside Japan fell 0.3 percent. Shanghai's market remained closed for a holiday. Investors, meanwhile, are awaiting the minutes from the Federal Reserve's latest meeting, hoping for clues on future interest rates.",
  "summary": "Die Spannungen zwischen Saudi-Arabien und den vom Iran unterstützten Huthi-Rebellen im Jemen treiben die Ölpreise an. Das sorgt für schlechte Stimmung bei den asiatischen Anlegern.",
