Asian stock markets advanced on Tuesday, led by Japan and Hong Kong, as investors reacted to upbeat corporate results and easing rate concerns. The Nikkei 225 climbed 2.75%, while the Hang Seng rose 2.4%, driven by tech and auto shares. U.S. futures also pointed higher, with Dow Jones mini futures up 0.63%. Analysts said improved risk appetite reflected optimism over Japan’s corporate reforms and stable U.S. yields, though China’s property data continued to limit broader enthusiasm.
