Everyone’s watching US stocks, but Asia just sent a signal. 🇯🇵 Nikkei: +92% in a year → -13% in a month → now +4.6% to start April (53,417) 🇰🇷 KOSPI: +176% in a year → -19% in a month → now +8% to start April (5,457) Same pattern: huge rally, sharp pullback, early rebound. Here’s the takeaway: Both Japan and Korea rely heavily on Middle East oil and were hit hard when prices spiked during the Iran conflict. Their markets are now acting as a real-time vote on what comes next. If they bounce → Asia expects a resolution. If they drop → risk is still elevated. Right now, both are bouncing. Asia is pricing in a deal before the West confirms it. Watch these markets closely—they may be ahead of oil and US equities.
