The Nikkei 225 stock average soared more than 3% on Monday, topping 65,000 for the first time. 
The rally was fueled in part by expectations that economic uncertainties related to the conflict in the Middle East would ease following comments by U.S. 
President Donald Trump that peace might be a possibility. 
“An Agreement has been largely negotiated, subject to finalization between the United States of America, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the various other Countries, as listed,” the president wrote on Truth Social on Saturday.
