Photographer: Al Drago/Bloomberg via Getty Images | Bloomberg via Getty Images Though Tim Cook is shedding his CEO title for the role of Apple's executive chairman, it appears he'll keep one of his most important duties: that of the company's Trump whisperer. "As executive chairman, Cook will assist with certain aspects of the company, including engaging with policymakers around the world," Apple writes in a press release.

South Korean stocks climbed to a record, powered by chipmakers as the artificial intelligence trade regained momentum and optimism reemerged about a US-Iran peace deal. The benchmark Kospi Index rose as much as 2.2% to an all-time intraday high on Tuesday, after erasing all its losses driven by the Iran war on Monday. Samsung Electronics Co. and SK Hynix Inc. led the advance. The tech-heavy gauge has rallied over 50% this year, making it one of the world’s top performers. The new milestone comes as investors continue to show enthusiasm about the AI sector’s favorable dynamics such as tight chip supply. Demand for defense and power equipment, as well as an official campaign to improve shareholder returns and corporate governance have also underpinned Korea’s $3.8 trillion market . Asian markets in general also gained on Tuesday following signs that Iran may join peace talks with the US.

Toru Hanai | Bloomberg | Getty Images Asia-Pacific markets opened higher Tuesday amid hopes for a resolution to the Middle East conflict, even as tensions between Iran and the U.S. continue to simmer. "Trump, by imposing a siege and violating the ceasefire, seeks to turn this negotiating table— in his own imagination— into a table of surrender or to justify renewed warmongering," Iran's parliament speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf said in a X post . "We do not accept negotiations under the shadow of threats, and in the past two weeks, we have prepared to reveal new cards on the battlefield," Ghalibaf, who is also Iran's top negotiator, added. This comes after President Donald Trump on Monday said "lots of bombs [will] start going off" if no deal is reached before a shaky ceasefire with Tehran expires Tuesday evening, threatening Iran with overwhelming military force. The threats come even as a U.S. delegation prepared to return to Pakistan for a potential second round of peace talks. Investors remain bullish on the broader picture ahead for equities.
