Shares on Wall Street have steadied after big falls in Asian stocks and a bruising trading session in New York on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones, the broader S&P 500 index and the Nasdaq all opened higher.<\/p>\n

That followed a calmer trading session on European markets, with most indexes ending the day higher or little changed.<\/p>\n

London’s benchmark FTSE 100 closed 0.6% higher, while the broader FTSE 250 added 0.7%.<\/p>\n

Frankfurt’s Dax and the Paris Cac both fared even better, adding 1% and 1.6% respectively.<\/p>\n

Earlier, Tokyo stocks had slumped more than 3%, taking their cue from one of Wall Street’s worst days in seven years.<\/p>\n

Investors have been rattled by the outlook for corporate profits amid signs of slowing global growth, particularly in China.<\/p>\n

Companies in the US are also reporting increased costs due to labour shortages and trade tariffs.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Wednesday’s losses had pushed the US Dow Jones Industrial Average and the S&P 500 below their starting point at the beginning of the year, <\/p>\n

But the exchanges gained back some ground on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The Dow was up about 1.5% by midday and the S&P climbed 1.7%. The Nasdaq advanced about 2.7%.<\/p>\n

October tends to be the most volatile month for the US stock market, but the sharp swings mark a change from the steady upward march the exchanges enjoyed last year.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
