Japan’s Nikkei 225 index has reached a new all-time high

Trading on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, the largest in Asia, opened with rising quotations.

The positive momentum was driven by news of the extension of the ceasefire between the United States and Iran, as well as gains recorded earlier on U.S. stock markets.

At the opening, the benchmark Nikkei index, which tracks the share prices of 225 крупнейших японских корпораций, rose by approximately 1% and, for the first time in its history, surpassed the 60,000-point mark.

The upward trend on the Tokyo Stock Exchange has now continued for four consecutive trading sessions. Japanese analysts attribute this to optimistic investor sentiment linked to expectations of possible stabilization in the Middle East.

Earlier, the New York Post reported that U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that peace talks with Iran could take place within the next one and a half to three days.
