Asia shares rebound, but quarterly loss headed for 4-year high
Tokyo
ASIAN stock markets rallied on Wednesday after sliding to three-year lows, but concerns lingered over slumping commodities prices and China's cooling economy.
European markets were set to follow Asia higher, with financial spreadbetters expecting Britain's FTSE 100, Germany's DAX and France's CAC 40 to open as much as 1.2 per cent higher. US stock futures rose 0.8 per cent, suggesting a stronger opening on Wall Street later in the session.
