HONG KONG (MarketWatch) — Japanese stocks rose the most in two weeks on Tuesday, clawing back some losses after a heavy sell-off in the previous day.

The Nikkei Average NIK, +2.18% rebounded 2.2% to 17,344.06, recovering some ground after a 3% loss on Monday, as investors watched for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s decision on delaying a planned tax rate hike after official data showed Japan’s economy entered a recession in the third quarter. Abe may also call for early elections to be held next month.
