Japan: Japan's Nikkei share average climbed more than 3.14 percent, marking its most significant gain in two weeks. This surge was driven by renewed enthusiasm for technology stocks and easing geopolitical tensions related to the Iran war. The broader Topix index also saw an increase, climbing 1.64 percent to reach 3853.81.

According to Qatar News Agency, the Nikkei's rally mirrored gains on Wall Street as investors anticipated earnings from AI bellwether Nvidia, which has forecasted sales above market estimates.
