• Japan’s Nikkei share average on Wednesday recovered all of the previous day’s loss, helped by Wall Street’s rise and a weaker yen, as worries sparked by North Korea firing a missile over Japan receded.

The Nikkei, which on Tuesday hit a fourth-month low and ended 0.5 percent down, climbed 0.7 percent to 19,506.54.

• China stocks ended flat on Wednesday, as strong gains in airline operators and resources firms were offset by weakness in banking stocks with investors awaiting first-half results for some of the country’s biggest banks.

The blue-chip CSI300 index was unchanged at 3,834.30 points, while the Shanghai Composite Index was also flat at 3,363.63 points.

• Investors piled back into European stocks on Wednesday, boosting indexes higher in a relief rally after geopolitical concerns caused a sharp dip across equity markets.

The pan-European STOXX 600 gained 0.6 percent, recovering nearly all the ground lost in the previous session when North Korea’s missile launch sparked a sell-off.
