10:16:12The dollar index stabilized above 98 on Friday but is still on track for its third consecutive weekly decline. Improved prospects for an end to the US-Iran conflict reduced safe-haven demand and eased inflation concerns related to the energy market. The latest development is that US President Trump expressed confidence that the US-Iran war is nearing its end and claimed that Tehran has agreed to terms including abandoning its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Trump also announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, which could facilitate further US-Iran negotiations. Continued declines in oil prices helped curb inflation expectations and reduced market expectations for a tightening of monetary policy by the Federal Reserve. New York Federal Reserve President John Williams stated that increased uncertainty should limit forward guidance on the policy path, although his base case still includes prolonged interest rate cuts.
10:15:51South Korea's benchmark stock index (KOSPI) fell 0.5% on Friday, closing near 6,195 points, ending a three-day winning streak. Investors took profits after recent gains and remained cautious about the situation in the Middle East. The index had broken through the 6,200-point mark for the first time since the start of the US-Iran conflict in the previous session, triggering profit-taking. Shares of Samsung Electronics (-0.3%), SK Hynix (-0.6%), Hanwha Aerospace (-4.6%), Doosan Energy (-1.5%), and Woori Financial Group (-0.4%) all declined. Despite US indications of progress in ceasefire negotiations involving Iran and a temporary ceasefire agreement between Israel and Lebanon easing geopolitical tensions, persistent uncertainty weighed on market sentiment. While these developments boosted hopes for de-escalation, risk appetite remained subdued due to the unclear prospects for a long-term agreement. Meanwhile, high energy prices and supply concerns continued to weigh on South Korea's prospects as a major energy importer.
10:15:32The Nikkei 225 index fell 0.8% on Friday to around 59,000 points, retreating from its record high. Investors are weighing the prospects of a permanent ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran. Latest news indicates that US President Trump expressed confidence that the US-Iran conflict could end soon, claiming that Tehran has agreed to terms including abandoning its nuclear program and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. He also announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, a move that could benefit further US-Iran negotiations. In Japan, Bank of Japan Governor Kazuo Ueda stated that the central bank must consider Japan's low real interest rates when formulating policy. Markets remain divided on whether the Bank of Japan will raise interest rates again later this month. Technology stocks led the decline, with Kioxia Holdings (-2.3%), SoftBank Group (-1.2%), Lasertec (-3%), Tokyo Electron (-2.9%), and Fujikura (-0.5%) all falling.
10:14:48Gold prices stabilized around $4,800 an ounce on Friday, poised for a fourth consecutive weekly gain. The prospect of a permanent ceasefire between the US and Iran eased market concerns about inflation and central bank interest rate hikes. US President Trump stated that Tehran had agreed to terms including abandoning its nuclear weapons program, providing "free oil," and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, but Iranian officials have not yet confirmed these claims. Nevertheless, the Strait of Hormuz remains under a double blockade, and IMF Executive Director Fatih Birol warned that restoring most of the disrupted oil and gas production could take up to two years. Even so, oil prices have fallen sharply as market optimism grows regarding a potential agreement with Iran, easing inflationary pressures and reducing market expectations for further interest rate hikes. Gold prices are expected to rise by about 1% this week and are currently still about 17% higher than their March lows.
10:14:32On Friday, Brent crude futures fell to around $98 a barrel, erasing gains from the previous session. This followed comments from US President Trump expressing optimism about a possible agreement to end the conflict with Iran. He stated that Tehran had accepted terms including abandoning its nuclear weapons program, providing "free oil," and reopening the Strait of Hormuz, though Iranian authorities have not yet confirmed these claims. Trump also announced a 10-day ceasefire between Israel and Lebanon, confirmed by Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Meanwhile, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed due to a dual blockade by the US and Iran, fueling market concerns about further disruptions to global energy flows. Furthermore, IMF Executive Director Fatih Birol warned that restoring most of the disrupted oil and gas production could take up to two years.
