This deal has immediately boosted investor confidence, leading to a rally in US futures and stabilizing oil prices, with Brent hovering above $68 and WTI near $65. While the agreement prevented immediate market turmoil, oil traders remain cautious due to anticipated OPEC+ supply hikes.<\/p>\n<p>In corporate news, <strong>Samsung shares<\/strong> ((\/stock\/005930)) surged by <strong>3.5%<\/strong> following the announcement of a substantial <strong>$16.5 billion client deal<\/strong>.

The ASX 200 rose by 0.2% and the KOSPI by 0.2%. However, Japan&#39;s Nikkei 225 lagged, declining by 0.9% amid ongoing political headwinds.<\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, traders are bracing for a high-stakes week.
