Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 index
touched a three-week high early Tuesday, helped by a weaker yen hovering near
the 120 handle against the greenback as the U.S. dollar recovered some lost
ground on Monday after several weeks of selling.
Insurers were in focus after the Nikkei business daily reported that
MS&AD Insurance Group Holdings and Tokio Marine are expected to see a 46
percent and 30 percent jump, respectively, in net profit for the year through
March. The former shed 0.4 percent, while Tokio Marine added 0.6 percent.
