Japanese stocks rose, following U.S. equities higher, after the yen weakened as the fallout on Asian financial markets from the Paris attacks faded.
The Topix index rebounded from Monday’s loss to add 0.9 percent to 1,586.11 at the close in Tokyo as almost five shares rose for each that fell. U.S. stocks jumped the most in three weeks and European equities shrugged off declines to close higher as France expanded an aerial bombardment in Syria in retaliation for the Nov. 13 attacks in Paris that killed at least 129 people.
