The Nikkei index may rise on potential bargain hunting

On June 29, after the benchmark index fell sharply last Friday, Japan's stock market may rise on potential bargain hunting. However, gains could be limited amid a weekend of seesaw attacks between the United States and Iran, putting pressure on the fragile peace deal between the two countries. On the Singapore Stock Exchange, Nikkei futures rose 355 points to 70130. The Nikkei closed down 4.15% at 69,360.88 points on Friday.
