Asia markets rise after Trump announces tentative Israel-Iran ceasefire; Hong Kong leads gains

Asia stock markets rise on Tuesday supported by tentative ceasefire talks between Iran and Israel announced by US President Donald Trump, to end the twelve-day conflict, set to begin late Monday, with Iran expected to cease attacks first. However, caution quickly emerged as Iran's foreign minister denied a US-brokered deal, insisting Iran would only halt attacks if Israel stopped its airstrikes. Meanwhile, financial markets showed little reaction to Iran's non-fatal strike on a US base in Qatar, finding further relief in Tehran's decision to avoid targeting the strategic Strait of Hormuz.
