Asian shares experienced a broad rebound on Thursday following a recovery in U.S. stocks, driven by positive sentiment after recent market volatility. South Korea's Kospi significantly rebounded after historic losses, prompting government intervention with a 100 trillion won emergency financial package and discussions on fuel price controls. While Tokyo's Nikkei 225 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng also saw gains, Chinese markets reacted to the National People's Congress setting an economic growth target of 4.5% to 5% and a 7% increase in military spending. The rebound occurred amidst ongoing uncertainty related to the war in the Middle East, which continues to influence financial markets and oil prices. U.S. futures, however, indicated a potential pullback, with contracts for the Dow Jones and S&P 500 showing losses.
