Asian Stocks<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stocks in Asian fell on Tuesday after a report from the region\u2019s largest economy showed that China\u2019s growth rate for the third quarter came in higher than forecasted, while Japan saw major losses.<\/p>\n

Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 index went down 1.335 to 14,905.50 points after climbing 4% on Monday, the highest since June 2013 after the Government Pension Investment Fund (GPIF) announced it would boost domestic stock holding from 12% to approximately 25%.

The world\u2019s second largest economy released a separate report which showed that China\u2019s industrial production for September climbed 8.5%, compared to forecast of a 8.4% rise. This comes in after reports that the People\u2019s Bank of China said it plans to inject approximately 200 billion yuan into some national and regional lenders.<\/p>
