The news Monday that Japan's economy contracted two quarters in a row has all but extinguished the government's enthusiasm for a second increase in sales tax that is needed to get its swollen debt under control. Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is poised Tuesday to delay the key policy and call a snap election. Shares in Tokyo rose Tuesday on expectations the Japanese government will respond to a recession by postponing a sales tax hike and launching new stimulus. (AP Photo/Shizuo Kambayashi)
