Nikkei Share Average Slips as Ceasefire Optimism Wanes

The Japanese equity market has taken a step back as investor enthusiasm for a US-Iran ceasefire has begun to wane, prompting a more guarded approach following a previous session’s significant price surge. The Nikkei share average currently stands at 56,036.75, a 0.4% decline as of 02:00 GMT, and is poised to break a four-session winning streak if the current downward trend continues. Meanwhile, the broader Topix index has also retreated, dipping 0.5% to 3,755.52. Overnight, Nikkei 225 Futures on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange surpassed the 57,000 mark. Just one session prior, the Nikkei had skyrocketed 5.4% to its highest level in over a month, buoyed by hopes that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen following Trump’s agreement to a two-week ceasefire with Iran.
