Japan stocks jump on weak yen, Asia markets sink

HONG KONG: Tokyo’s Nikkei rallied Tuesday as the dollar extended gains against the yen on fresh indications the Federal Reserve will lift interest rates again this year, while technology firms tracked a sector rebound on Wall Street.

However, most other regional markets struggled after Monday’s healthy gains, despite being given a positive lead from Wall Street where the Dow and S&P 500 closed at fresh record highs.
