Due to the impact of the phased ceasefire agreement between the U.S. and Iran, market risk aversion has significantly eased, and major global stock indices have generally risen. According to data from the Gate platform, the Asia-Pacific market performed impressively: the Taiwan MSCI Index (TW88) rose by 5.39%, closing at 2,835.36; the Nikkei 225 Index (JPN225) increased by 5.83%, closing at 354.12; the Australia 200 Index (AUS200) rose by 4.97%, closing at 6,338.18.

The European and American markets also saw a broad increase, with the Nasdaq 100 Index (NAS100) rising by 3.96%, closing at 24,987.64; the S&P 500 Index (SPX500) increasing by 2.82%, closing at 6,759.58; the Dow Jones Industrial Index (US30) rising by 2.46%, closing at 47,742.26; and the Russell 2000 Index (US2000) increasing by 4.29%, closing at 2,635.59.

At the same time, the rise in market risk appetite has led to a decline in volatility, with the VIX Index (VIXUSDT) falling by 5.27%, closing at 23.305, and the Gold Volatility Index (GVZ) also dropping by 3.48%, closing at 36.08. Overall, the easing of geopolitical tensions has significantly boosted global stock market performance, with funds accelerating their return to risk assets.
