Asian stocks experienced a significant surge, and oil prices fell sharply at the start of trading on Tuesday. This came after a volatile session as U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that ongoing Middle East hostilities might end soon.

Speaking during the session, Trump's comments fueled optimism and helped to stabilize markets that were rocked by pressure from Iranian hardliners and fluctuating U.S. policies.

Global market conditions remain uncertain, but the easing of short-term panic brought positive movement in Asian stocks, including Japan's Nikkei 225 and South Korea's Kospi. Nevertheless, geopolitical tensions continue to loom heavily over investor sentiment.
