Asia-Pacific markets rose on Friday, with South Korea’s Kospi hitting a fresh intraday record and Japan’s Topix reaching a new all-time high, as investors looked past renewed military activity involving Iran and focused on gains in technology shares and record closes on Wall Street.<\/p>\n

South Korea’s Kospi jumped more than 3% to close at 8,476.15, hitting a new intra-day high before paring gains slightly. The small-cap Kosdaq was down 2.68% to 1,074.8.<\/p>\n

Japan’s\u00a0Nikkei 225<\/a> was up 2.53%, ending the trading day at 66,329.5 while the Topix rose 1.41% to a new record high of 3,957.17.<\/p>\n

Shares of\u00a0Samsung Electronics surged over 5%<\/a> after the company said it had begun shipping samples of its latest high-bandwidth memory chip to its customers globally. <\/p>\n

In Australia, the S&P\/ASX 200<\/a> rose 1.62% to close at 8,731.7. Hong Kong’s\u00a0Hang Seng index<\/a> added 0.55% in the final hour of trade, while the CSI 300 lost 0.45% to 4,892.12. India’s Nifty 50 dipped 0.5%.<\/p>\n

Iran’s armed forces reportedly fired missiles<\/a> at unspecified targets late Thursday, according to state media outlet Fars.<\/p>\n

The latest military activity in southern Iran came just hours after the Pentagon said Tehran had fired a ballistic missile toward Kuwait and deployed attack drones in and around the Strait of Hormuz.<\/p>\n

Earlier on Thursday, a White House official confirmed an Axios<\/a> report saying the U.S. and Iran had “mostly agreed” on the terms of a deal aimed at temporarily halting the three-month conflict.<\/p>\n
