LONDON (AP) -- Global stocks rose Wednesday after earnings from Apple Inc. and
other U.S. companies easily beat expectations, providing a distraction from the
economic and political turbulence in Europe over its debt crisis.
Apple again proved skeptics wrong by reporting blowout iPhone sales. The
world's most valuable company sold 35 million iPhones in January through March,
nearly twice as many as in the same period a year earlier. By beating
expectations on iPhone sales, Apple comfortably beat analysts' earnings and
revenue forecasts.
"Whilst Apple might not be a bellwether for economic activity generally it is
probably fair to say that it is an important confidence indicator for the
market as a whole, so these figures will help sentiment today," said Gary
Jenkins, managing director at Swordfish Research.
In Europe, Germany's DAX was up 1.3 percent at 6,676 while the CAC-40 in France
rose 1.7 percent to 3,222. The euro was also buoyed, trading 0.1 percent higher
at $1.3215.
European earnings statements were less upbeat though Electrolux and LM
Ericsson posted strong gains, Peugeot Citroen reported a sharp drop in sales in
Europe and Credit Suisse profits fell.
The FTSE 100 index of leading British shares underperformed after figures
showed the U.K. economy unexpectedly shrank 0.2 percent in the first quarter of
the year, putting it back in recession it was up only 0.3 percent at 5,725.
Wall Street was poised for gains on the open, with Dow futures up 0.5 percent
at 13,027 and the broader S&P 500 futures up 0.7 percent at 1,380.
Despite the cheer provided by Apple, as well as companies like AT&T, markets
are likely to remain nervous over developments in Europe's debt crisis.
Though a Dutch bond auction on Tuesday helped soothe market fears, investors
remain edgy about how the crisis will develop over the coming weeks with
general elections taking place in Greece and France. The Netherlands is also
expected to go to the polls later in the year after its government collapsed on
Monday over a failure to agree on an austerity package.
Later Wednesday, the focus is likely to shift to the latest policy statement
from the Federal Reserve, which could well prompt traders to revise their
expectations of how long U.S. borrowing costs will remain at their super-low
level.
"There is risk that the Fed's economic projections will appear more optimistic
than those in January," said Jane Foley, an analyst at Rabobank International.
Earlier in Asia, Japan's Nikkei 225 rose 1 percent to close at 9,561.01, but
South Korea's Kospi fell marginally to 1,961.98.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng fell 0.2 percent to 20,646.29 and the Shanghai Composite
Index rose 0.8 percent to 2,406.81.
Oil prices tracked equities higher, with benchmark oil for June delivery up 58
cents at $104.13 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile
Exchange.
