Global shares mostly rose Wednesday despite worries about the U.S. banking system which set off a decline on Wall Street, and concerns closer to home about Chinese economic growth.
France's CAC 40 added 1.3% in early trading to 7,366.35, while Germany's DAX jumped 1.1% to 15,944.74. Britain's FTSE 100 gained 0.8% to 7,584.18. U.S. shares were set to drift higher with Dow futures up nearly 0.1% at 35,426.00. S&P 500 futures rose 0.2% to 4,528.50.
Clifford Bennett, chief economist at ACY Securities, called the export data out of China "rather alarming," noting it was the sharpest decline in three years and reflected global economic challenges, not just in China."It is now very likely we will all be surprised by just how intense this global economic slowdown becomes. The three major economies of the world -- U.S., China and the EU -- are leading the downward charge.
The Federal Reserve has hiked its main interest rate to the highest level in more than two decades in hopes of grinding down inflation. High rates work by slowing the entire economy bluntly, which has raised the risk of a recession.
