Just caught the market action from overnight - Tokyo's having a solid day after Wall Street bounced back. The Nikkei's up over 4 percent, sitting around 56,500 now. That's a nice 0.04 move if you're tracking percentage points. SoftBank's leading the charge with almost 8 percent gains, and the whole tech sector's following along - Advantest, Tokyo Electron, all jumping 6-7 percent. The banking stocks are also in on it, with Mizuho popping nearly 9 percent.

Looks like the rebound started stateside. Nasdaq was the star yesterday, climbing 1.3 percent to 22,807, while the S&P 500 and Dow both moved higher too. Europe's catching up as well - DAX jumped 1.7 percent, and London and Paris markets are up 0.8 percent each.

Commodities are moving too. Crude's up about 1.5 percent, sitting at $75.79 a barrel. Dollar's holding steady around 156 yen. Pretty much everything's in the green right now - classic risk-on environment after the selling we saw earlier in the week.
