Asia stocks surge to records as US-Iran peace framework lifts risk sentiment

Asian equities climbed after a U.S.–Iran peace framework boosted risk appetite: the Nikkei 225 and KOSPI hit records on AI and chip-related strength, while Hong Kong lagged on internet-stock losses amid Beijing’s cross-border investment crackdown; sentiment was supported by firmer US stock futures (S&P 500 futures up around 0.9%), though investors remained mindful of potential Fed rate hikes. China was mixed (CSI 300 up slightly, Shanghai Composite down), and India benefited from falling oil prices that improved the growth outlook.

Regional markets rise as Dow hits record; oil climbs amid Iran tensions

Asia-Pacific equities gained as Wall Street closed at a record high and Brent crude climbed to about $105 amid U.S.–Iran tensions after Trump blocked the Strait of Hormuz. Japan’s Nikkei 225 surged 2.68% to 63,339.07 (Topix +1%), with core inflation cooling to 1.4% in April, easing BOJ rate-hike expectations. Korea’s Kospi +0.41% and Kosdaq up sharply, Hong Kong’s Hang Seng +1.03%, and China’s CSI 300 +1.26%; India’s Nifty 50 and Sensex also higher. U.S. 10-year yields eased to around 4.57% and the 30-year yield nudged lower. Moody’s warned that longer-term borrowing costs could rise due to defense spending and expansive AI/data-center investment, underscoring a still-challenging global financing backdrop.
