GLOBAL MARKETS-Stocks gear up for Big Tech earnings; yen sits near danger zone
Global shares rose on Tuesday, driven by a recovery on Wall Street, where investors focus on earnings reports from the U.S. megacaps, while the yen hit a new 34-year low against the dollar, prompting a warning from Japanese officials.

Shortages key to copper's upward price trajectory to new peaks
