Ceasefire Agreement Boosts Asian Markets Toward Best Weekly Performance Since 2022

Deep News04-10

Asian equities advanced, positioning for their most significant weekly gain since November 2022. This upturn was driven by a ceasefire agreement reached between the United States and Iran, which alleviated market risk aversion and spurred a rebound. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index climbed as much as 1%, bringing its cumulative increase for the week to 6%. During Friday's trading session, chipmakers such as TSMC and Samsung were primary contributors to the index's gains. Indonesia's benchmark stock index rose 2%, leading the advances in the Asia-Pacific region. This week's market recovery indicates a gradual return of risk appetite in Asian markets, which had experienced a substantial sell-off in March due to war-related anxieties. However, significant uncertainties remain regarding the durability of the peace and the future trajectory of oil prices.
