Japan’s benchmark Nikkei 225 share index soared as much as 10.7% early Tuesday, a day after it plunged a near record 12.4%.
The index yielded some of those early gains to trade 8.7% higher at 34,211.83 by late morning. The gains followed sharp losses on Wall Street that were dramatic but not on the same scale as Monday’s debacle in Tokyo.
The Nikkei is now close to the level it was at a year ago. Its biggest ever percentage gain was 14.
