Asian markets settled higher on Monday as crude oil prices dipped after the first round of US-Iran talks has ended with both sides agreeing on a roadmap towards a final deal, which alleviated market fears following renewed hostilities in Lebanon. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index surged to new record highs as Japanese firms tied to the global artificial intelligence infrastructure boom continued to lead the market higher. Chinese shares climbed as investors returned from a holiday break and digested the PBOC’s decision to leave its key lending rates unchanged. However, investors remained cautious over the prospect of US interest rates staying higher for longer following the Federal Reserve’s recent hawkish signals.
