A deal to end the Iran war triggered sharp gains in global stock markets, with Japan's Nikkei 225 rising 4.99% and South Korea's Kospi surging 5.54%. Oil prices fell as investors priced out Middle East conflict risk, benefiting energy-importing economies.
Global stocks bounced back and oil prices pulled back after Iran and Israel both signaled a pause in their military exchange, easing fears of a wider regional conflict. The moves reversed much of the week's flight-to-safety trade, though markets remain cautious about whether the pause will hold.
Global markets are under pressure as the US-Iran conflict continues with no resolution in sight. Oil supply risk through the Strait of Hormuz, safe-haven demand, and inflation concerns are the main channels hitting equities, currencies, and emerging economies.
Oil prices surged and global stocks dropped after U.S. and Iranian forces clashed, threatening peace talks that markets had been counting on to end a ten-week conflict. The earlier rally, built on hopes of a quick resolution, reversed sharply as traders priced in the risk of a prolonged standoff.

The US Federal Reserve announces its April policy decision on Wednesday, April 29, after a two-day meeting. Markets expect rates to stay unchanged, but Jerome Powell's press conference tone will be closely watched for signals on the growth and inflation outlook. Any dovish shift could support emerging market assets
Xi Jinping publicly characterized U.S. trade and technology restrictions as a 'dangerous' blockade, warning the world is 'crumbling into disarray.' The statement signals a sharper rhetorical posture from Beijing as U.S.-China tensions weigh on global markets. Investors are watching for concrete Chinese countermeasures
