All the Asian markets are trading in green terrain in early deals on Tuesday, led by better-than-expected US corporate earnings and a lack of bad news on trade tensions. Meanwhile, Japan’s Nikkei share average bounced modestly, trimming some sharp losses from the previous day as the yen’s rally stalled and provided some relief to investors worried about the currency’s impact on exporters’ earnings.
