Asian stock markets surged after Donald Trump said the United States could exit the Iran war within two to three weeks, with or without a deal. The statement sparked optimism across global markets that the month-long conflict disrupting energy supply may finally ease.<br /><br />South Korea’s Kospi jumped 6.4%, Japan’s Nikkei rose 4%, and Taiwan’s Taiex climbed more than 4%. India’s Sensex also surged over 1,800 points in early trading. The rally followed a strong session on Wall Street where the Nasdaq, S&P 500, and Dow Jones all posted major gains.<br /><br />Despite the optimism, uncertainty remains high. Oil prices are still above $100 a barrel as tensions around the Strait of Hormuz continue. Iran has also stated that several conditions must be met before ending the conflict, while the United States continues to deploy military assets to the region.<br /><br />Investors are now closely watching Trump’s upcoming national address and the latest U.S. jobs report, both of which could heavily influence market direction in the coming days.
