Asian stocks rose on Tuesday for a second day despite the decline in US stocks today. The positive performance of the Asian stocks is supported by Japanese stocks, which are still affected by the ruling party's victory by a majority of the seats in the Japanese parliament.
US stocks tumbled as investors re-evaluated stocks ahead of earnings results for several companies this week, but Asian stocks were able to consolidate due to Japan's benchmark performance and the yen traded near a three-month low against the dollar.
