Asian markets hit historic highs as geopolitical tensions ease. Japan's Nikkei 225 surged past 57,000 yen following confirmation that Iran's ceasefire remains stable ahead of U.S. negotiations. The diplomatic progress sparked broad rallies across Shanghai and Hong Kong benchmarks. However, energy markets remain volatile with North Sea oil reaching record levels as investors weigh Iran's continued influence over the Strait of Hormuz. Wall Street showed renewed confidence with major analyst upgrades. TD Cowen raised Texas Instruments price target to $250, reflecting optimism in the analog chip recovery, while Citigroup boosted Adidas outlook to EUR 277 on strong brand momentum. The combination of easing Middle East tensions and positive corporate guidance is driving investor sentiment across Asia and Europe.
