  "account": "The recent termination of a US-Iran ceasefire has sent shockwaves through Asian stock markets on Tuesday, prompting investors to adopt a \"fully offensive\" stance in terms of military readiness. This shift in sentiment led to a significant move towards risk aversion, particularly on financial markets. In Tokyo, the Nikkei Index fell by 1.6 percent, while the Shanghai Stock Exchange experienced a slight decline of 0.2 percent. The Seoul Stock Exchange, however, bucked the trend by gaining over three percent following a public holiday.\n\nAnalysts from ING attributed the market's reaction to the absence of reassuring signals from the Trump administration, which typically follows such movements with supportive remarks. However, this time, the analysts noted that the market response did not align with expectations. The uncertainty was also evident in the bond market, with the yield of Japan's 10-year government bond reaching an all-time high of 2.945 percent.",
  "summary": "Die USA streben nach den Worten von US-Präsident Donald Trump keine Verlängerung der Waffenruhevereinbarung mit dem Iran an. Das macht die asiatischen Anleger nervös.",
