Global Shares Rebound After Hints At Possible End To War

TOKYO (AP) — Global benchmarks are mostly rebounding in a mood of cautious relief after President Donald Trump said the United States has talked with Iran about a possible end to their war. Benchmarks rose moderately in early Tuesday trading in France, Germany and Britain. In Asia, shares finished higher in Japan, Australia, South Korea and China. Oil prices rose, reversing course from their easing overnight on Wall Street. Global markets have been on a roller-coaster ride over worries about the war in Iran, which began in late February. Resource-poor Japan is severely affected by any interruption of energy shipping through the Strait of Hormuz that Iran has practically shut down.
