On Tuesday, Japan's Nikkei 225 Index rallied 2.53% to 57,932.07, reaching its highest point since the onset of the Iran conflict. This surge was driven by optimism regarding negotiations aimed at resolving the ongoing war, which has previously disrupted oil shipments from the region. U.S. crude oil prices fell 1.9% to $97.20 per barrel, while Brent oil decreased to $97.93, down 1.44%. Despite a breakdown in ceasefire talks over the weekend, U.S. Vice President JD Vance expressed confidence in the progress of negotiations, suggesting that Iran may soon reopen the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping lane. Market sentiment appears to be stabilizing, shifting focus towards upcoming corporate earnings reports expected to gain momentum in late April. Notably, semiconductor and artificial intelligence companies led the market gains, with Kioxia Holdings rising 14.6%, SoftBank Group increasing 12.2%, and Advantest jumping 8.2%. In contrast, Archion Corp and Inpex were among the largest decliners, falling 3% and 2.8%, respectively.
