HONG KONG (Nikkei Markets) -- Asian shares outside Japan rebounded Tuesday alongside pullback in crude oil prices as risk aversion related to U.S.-Iran tensions abated.
The Nikkei Asia300 index advanced 0.7% to 1,387.59. The index had declined more than a percent yesterday after Washington and Tehran exchanged threats following the killing of an Iranian military commander in a U.S. airstrike.
