Asian stocks rose sharply on Friday, led by chip and AI firms as investors brushed off concern over the stalled recovery of energy supplies through the critical Strait of Hormuz, with tit-for-tat attacks escalating between the U.S. and Iran.
The renewed back-and-forth attacks have further eroded the fragile three-week-old ceasefire, bringing the spotlight back on oil prices and what it could mean for inflation and the global rates outlook.

Domestic Market:
Benchmark indices rebounded on Thursday after the previous session's sharp sell-off, supported by broad-based buying and improving global sentiment. The Nifty closed above the 23,950 mark as easing geopolitical concerns after US President Donald Trump said a renewed war with Iran was unlikely.
Meanwhile, renewed FII buying in domestic shares, a steady rupee and optimism ahead of the Q1 earnings season lifted investor sentiment. Broader markets outperformed the benchmarks. PSU banks and consumer durables stocks led the gains. IT and auto shares, however, remained under pressure.
