Asian markets settled higher on Monday, led by Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi Index, as investors cheered a breakthrough agreement to end the conflict between the United States and Iran. This agreement is expected to ease investor concerns about inflationary pressures and lessen the need for interest-rate hikes. The historic peace deal between the United States and Iran is scheduled to be officially signed on Friday, June 19, in Switzerland. Market sentiments also improved by tracking Wall Streets’ gains last Friday. Japanese shares soared and broke above the 69,000 level as geopolitical tensions eased, while the yen weakness persisted and government bond yields tumbled ahead of the Bank of Japan policy meeting. Meanwhile, major central banks (including the Fed and BOE) are scheduled to hold monetary policy meetings this week.
