Asia stocks bounced after U.S. equities snapped a two-day drop on a rally in companies that stand to benefit the most from an economic revival. The dollar and Treasuries stabilised.

Japan outperformed, while Australia and South Korea had more modest gains. U.S. futures edged lower. Earlier, most major groups in the S&P 500 rose, with raw-material, energy and financial shares leading the charge.

Oil added to losses with an increase in U.S. crude inventories compounding concerns around a choppy global demand recovery. Traders are sifting through corporate results for signs on whether an anticipated jump in profits would bring with its forecasts for stronger growth.

The Singapore-traded SGX Nifty, an early indicator of the Nifty 50 Index’s performance in India, rises 0.7% to 14,188, as of 7 a.m.

Here are some key events to watch this week:

  • European Central Bank rate decision and President Christine Lagarde briefing on Thursday.
  • U.S. releases new home sales data Friday.
