Asian stocks rose on Tuesday, tracking Wall Street’s gains as investors awaited earnings reports from US tech giants. The MSCI Asia-Pacific ex-Japan index rose 0.5%, led by a jump in Taiwanese and Hong Kong shares. However, Chinese shares fell, with blue chips losing 0.6%. On Wall Street, big tech stocks performed well ahead of their quarterly results, with Nvidia, Amazon, and Alphabet gaining. Meanwhile, the Japanese yen fell to fresh 34-year lows against the US dollar, pressured by the widening interest rate gap between the US and Japan.
