Asian stock markets rise after the United States and Iran sign an initial agreement that ends the war, helping investors look past earlier weakness on Wall Street. Multiple outlets report that benchmarks in Japan and South Korea reach fresh highs on Thursday, with both indexes setting new records. The gains are described as broad across major Asian markets, with investors responding positively to the prospect of de-escalation following the agreement.

The story focuses on the market reaction rather than specific economic or policy implications of the deal.
