In the currency market, the Japanese yen weakened against the dollar in the afternoon session. The yen touched an earlier session high of 100.14 and overnight, it climbed to levels around 99.68 to the dollar before retreating. That compared with levels above 101.00 last week.

 Analysts told CNBC on Tuesday they expect further yen strength in the near future, following the market's disappointment with the Bank of Japan's (BOJ) stimulus plans.
