Asian equities advanced after three days of losses as a selloff in chip stocks eased ahead of megacap tech earnings this week.
The MSCI Asia Pacific Index rose 0.5%, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average climbing 1.5% as trading resumed after a holiday Monday. Stocks in South Korea erased earlier losses to edge 0.2% higher. Earlier, a gauge of chip stocks in the US rebounded from last week’s selloff.
