Asian equities reached new highs, with Japan's Nikkei surpassing 60,000 for the first time, driven by strong US earnings and investor confidence despite rising oil prices. South Korea's Kospi and Taiwan's main index also hit record levels. Brent crude prices rose following Iran's seizure of vessels, raising concerns over potential supply disruptions. However, analysts believe the current geopolitical tensions do not pose an immediate threat to global oil supply. US stock futures indicate a softer market open, as investors assess the balance between strong earnings and accumulating risks.

Asian stocks surged on Wednesday, led by a 1.2% rise in Japan's Nikkei 225, nearing its record peak, following President Trump's announcement of potential talks with Iran. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index rose 1.5%, reflecting improved investor sentiment amid easing oil prices and inflation fears. Despite ongoing geopolitical tensions, analysts suggest that renewed diplomacy could stabilize markets. However, risks remain, including the standoff between Washington and Tehran and a downgraded global growth outlook from the IMF, which may affect the sustainability of this rally.
