Asian stocks rose from
an almost six-week low, following gains in U.S. and European shares, as
a weakening yen boosted Japanese equities and concern eased from the
attacks in Paris.
The MSCI Asia Pacific
Index added 0.6 percent to 131.31 as of 9:00 a.m. in Tokyo after closing
Monday at the lowest since Oct. 6. Shares rallied during the European
and U.S. sessions, with the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index jumping 1.5
percent and the Stoxx Europe 600 Index climbing 0.3 percent. The history
of terror incidents around the world over the last 15 years shows
market reactions are often sharp and short-lived.
The Asia-Pacific gauge
remains 4.7 percent lower this year and may post its first back-to-back
annual declines since 2002 as investors assess the extent of China’s
economic slowdown amid preparations by the Federal Reserve to raise
interest rates as early as next month.
