Equities in other Asian markets were a mixed bag in early hours despite a strong session on Wall Street overnight. MSCI's broadest index of Asia Pacific shares outside Japan was down 0.3 percent at the last count.

Japan's Nikkei 225 was up 0.6 percent and Singapore's Straits Times up 0.8 percent, but China's Shanghai Composite was down 0.4 percent, Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 0.2 percent and South Korea's KOSPI down 0.3 percent.

S&P 500 futures were down 0.5 percent.

On Tuesday, the three main Wall Street indices surged on the back of stronger-than-expected corporate earnings, though bleak forecasts on global economic growth pushed up bond yields and drove down oil.

The S&P 500 rose 1.6 percent, the Dow Jones 1.5 percent and the technology stocks-heavy Nasdaq Composite 2.2 percent.
