Historic breakthrough for Samsung and Asian markets

Asian stock markets recorded an impressive growth, supported by the stabilization of the geopolitical situation and strong corporate earnings. The South Korean KOSPI index crossed the 7000-point mark for the first time in its history.

"The truce between the US and Iran reduced concerns about oil supplies through the Strait of Hormuz, which gave additional impetus to investor confidence," market experts note.
