10.03.2026The Day Trump's War-Ending Words Lifted the Nikkei

Japanese media editors tracked President Trump's statement that the Iran conflict was 'almost completely over,' with multiple outlets reporting this triggered a sharp rebound in the Nikkei stock average and a drop in crude oil prices. Coverage linked these market movements to the earlier G7 finance ministers' agreement to coordinate strategic oil reserve releases, which had been reached to address oil prices surpassing $100 per barrel. Throughout the day, editors reported on Trump's shifting statements, including his warning of a '20-fold attack' if Iran stopped oil flow through the Strait of Hormuz and his claim that securing the strait 'helps China' ahead of the US-China summit. Other developments included a gas leak incident at a Daio Paper factory in Gifu Prefecture that hospitalized six workers and Japan's 9-0 victory over the Czech Republic in the World Baseball Classic.
