U.S. futures rebounded from the worst of the overnight declines.Losses were more modest across Asia than in the American session, with shares in South Korea and Australia faring worst, while Japan erased earlier declines. S&P 500 contracts climbed about 1% after the benchmark lost 3.5% Wednesday — its biggest drop since June. The dollar gave back some of its overnight advance and 10-year Treasury yields held at 0.78%. Oil was steady after tumbling more than 5% on concern rising infections will sap demand.In China, nearly 1,000 firms are releasing third-quarter earnings on Thursday, with traders looking to see if the results confirm the nation’s accelerating recovery. The yen held a small decline after the Bank of Japan kept its key interest rate and asset purchases unchanged.An MSCI gauge of global equities is down almost 5% this week as virus cases surge, and after American lawmakers failed to agree on an economic aid package before the Nov. 3 election.
