Japanese stocks are set to surge as markets reopen from holidays, as investors catch up with the global equities rally driven by optimism the US and Iran were nearing a deal to end their conflict. Nikkei 225 Stock Average futures expiring in June on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange traded at 61,920 as of 8:12 a.m. in Tokyo. The underlying index closed at 59,513.12 on May 1 before the Golden Week holiday. Oil steadied after plunging 7% in the previous session. Tech shares are also likely to support the market in Tokyo after US chipmaker Advanced Micro Devices Inc. rallied on bullish results. “Japanese stocks are expected to rise, led by semiconductor and fiber-optic-related sectors, amid strength in overseas markets,” said Takashi Ito , senior strategist at Nomura Securities. “Lower oil prices are significant for companies, as even a modest easing of inflation can provide meaningful relief.” US stocks hit new highs Wednesday after Washington was said to present a memorandum of understanding that would gradually reopen the Strait of Hormuz and lift the blockade on ports. A stronger yen, meanwhile, may weigh on some export-related shares. The currency surged as much as 1.8% against the dollar on Wednesday, renewing speculation of intervention.

watch now VIDEO 2:48 02:48 A lot more equity building opportunities in our brands, says Kraft Heinz CEO Mad Money with Jim Cramer Kraft Heinz CEO Steve Cahillane said the company sees its biggest growth opportunities in modernizing legacy brands and making them more relevant to changing consumer preferences. "What I found when I came inside Kraft Heinz is … outstanding brands that had been underinvested," Cahillane said on CNBC's " Mad Money " on Wednesday. "With investment, focus, attention, good customer plans, good consumer plans, they can grow again." The packaged food giant — known for brands like Heinz, Kraft, Philadelphia Cream Cheese, Lunchables and Oscar Mayer — reported first-quarter earnings and revenue that topped expectations Wednesday. Shares rose more than 2% as investors spotted some reasons to believe in Cahillane's turnaround efforts. Kraft Heinz's stock has been in stuck in a yearslong decline, and in September the company announced plans to unwind its massive 2015 merger, in an attempt to reverse its fortunes.

Cahillane, who joined Kraft Heinz in January after previously leading Kellogg's, said this is only the beginning and the company is now focusing investment behind categories where it believes it has the "right to win." "One of the single clearest examples of that is the brand Heinz," he said. "Heinz is one of the most recognizable consumer brands in the world." Despite the brand's broad recognition, Cahillane said household penetration remains far below its potential, creating room for additional growth. Health and wellness is another major focus area, according to Cahillane. He pointed to Kraft's revamped macaroni and cheese lineup, including the recently launched PowerMac, which contains 17 grams of protein and six grams of fiber. "Health and wellness is a real trend. It's an important trend. Clean labels...
