GLOBAL MARKETS REBOUND

Global markets bounced back as easing oil prices and lower bond yields lifted investor sentiment after recent weakness. Optimism also improved after Donald Trump signaled that U.S.-Iran negotiations may be nearing a resolution.

Asian markets followed Wall Street higher, with Japans Nikkei surging 3.5% on stronger export growth driven by semiconductor demand, while South Korea gained sharply on strong moves in Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix.

Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve maintained a cautious tone, with policymakers warning that inflation risks remain elevated due to oil prices, geopolitical tensions, and tariff pressures. Markets are now closely watching upcoming U.S. economic data including jobless claims, housing, and manufacturing reports for further direction.

Gold traded near record highs as investors monitored developments around the Strait of Hormuz and ongoing U.S.-Iran discussions. Any major geopolitical resolution could shift expectations toward lower interest rates and impact safe-haven demand.
