Asian Stocks Remain Volatile on Continued Worries About Chinese Economy, But Tokyo Stocks Rebound

SHANGHAI -- Following Tuesday’s falls on world stock markets, volatility continued on Asian markets Wednesday, as worries about China’s latest manufacturing figures and a possible U.S. interest rate rise continued to affect investor sentiment.

China's markets opened sharply down, before rebounding in late morning trading. Other Asian markets also fell, though Tokyo’s Nikkei bucked the trend, rising for the first time in three days in morning trades.
