The Nikkei 225 index closed March 2026 at 51,246, down 1.23% on March 31 amid surging oil prices fueled by escalating Iran tensions, marking a volatile month with a 5.2% plunge on March 9—the third-largest daily drop in history—triggered by global risk-off flows and profit-taking from February peaks near 58,000. Bank of Japan policymakers held the policy rate at 0.75% on March 19, affirming moderate economic recovery while signaling readiness for hikes if inflation persists from energy costs, tempering trader consensus on near-term yen strength and export competitiveness. Polymarket traders price in heightened uncertainty from geopolitics, with Q1 corporate earnings and April U.S. economic data as key near-term catalysts that could sway resolution thresholds.
