Middle East markets rebounded as diplomacy raised hopes of easing Iran hostilities, lifting investor sentiment across the region. Trading floors from Dubai to Tel Aviv opened broadly higher, with benchmark indices posting gains driven by energy and banking sectors. The uptick reflects renewed confidence that tensions may de-escalate without major disruption to commercial flows.

Regional exchanges saw notable advances in early trade, particularly among export-heavy firms whose operations depend on stable shipping lanes through the Persian Gulf. Analysts noted that while diplomatic signals remain fluid, the market move shows how quickly perception can shift when geopolitical risks appear to ease. For now, traders are balancing optimism against lingering uncertainty about future developments.
