Stocks recover some ground after global sell-off; currencies up


Emerging Asian stocks gained some ground on Thursday after a steep sell-off in the previous session, as traders raised their bets of an outsized rate cut by the Federal Reserve on lingering concerns over the growth outlook in the United States.

An MSCI gauge of Asian emerging market assets outside of Japan gained as much as 0.8%, partially recovering from a 1.8% decline on Wednesday when it ended at its lowest level since mid-August.
