Asian shares mostly advanced Tuesday after President Donald Trump delayed raising tariffs on China for another 90 days.
Tokyo's benchmark Nikkei 225 jumped 2.2% to 42,718.17, topping its past all-time record. Toyota Motor Corp.'s shares surged nearly 3% and other heavyweight shares also saw big gains after the U.S. confirmed that tariffs on imports from Japan would be taxed at 15% and not subject to “stacking” the rate on top of already existing duties.
