Emerging market stocks in Asia, excluding Japan, rose 1%, aided by a sharp recovery in the Nikkei. MSCI’s index of emerging market stocks rose 1.2% after experiencing its worst day in over two years on Monday.
The previous session saw a combination of concerns about a potential U.S. economic recession, disappointing tech earnings, and geopolitical worries prompting investors to flee risk assets.
