Japan’s stock market surged 3.5% and reached a fresh all-time high as investors reacted to growing optimism surrounding a potential peace agreement between the United States and Iran. The rally reflected improving global risk sentiment as traders reduced concerns over possible disruptions to energy supplies and international trade flows.
Technology, industrial, and export-oriented shares led gains across Japanese equities as falling oil prices improved expectations for corporate margins and consumer demand. Analysts said easing geopolitical tensions also supported broader investor appetite for international equities and cyclical sectors tied to global economic growth.
The gains followed strong momentum across global stock markets as investors increased exposure to risk assets amid expectations for lower inflation pressures and more stable energy markets.
