        "summary": "Asian stock markets mostly rose on Thursday, led by Japan's Nikkei 225 which surged over 3.72% to breach 61,000, as investors appeared to disregard US President Donald Trump's threats of escalated military action against Iran unless a peace deal is agreed upon. This positive movement came amid reports of near-finalised agreements between Washington and Tehran to end the conflict, with US futures stable and oil prices edging higher. The gains reflect a broader market resilience despite geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, following record highs in US indices overnight.",
