Asian stock markets, including South Korea, remained resilient despite the collapse of the second round of ceasefire talks between the United States and Iran.

The KOSPI continued to trade near record highs, supported by strong buying from retail investors, while foreign and institutional investors took profits.

Major Asian indices such as the Nikkei 225 and Taiwan Weighted Index also posted gains, while some Southeast Asian markets saw only modest declines.

Investor sentiment improved after Donald Trump signaled an extension of the ceasefire instead of escalating military actions. Markets interpreted this as a de facto “indefinite ceasefire,” reducing fears of a full-scale war.

The so-called “TACO” (Trump Always Chickens Out) pattern was once again cited as a factor behind the market’s optimism.

Meanwhile, WTI crude oil prices stabilized after recent volatility, easing concerns over a prolonged energy shock.

Experts suggest that both the U.S. and Iran face constraints that make a prolonged conflict unlikely, reinforcing market expectations that tensions will eventually ease.
