MSCI's world equity index , which follows shares in 47 countries, gained 0.4per cent, powered by a 1per cent gain for the pan-European STOXX 600 index . Bourses in London , Frankfurt and Paris all registered gains of more than 1per cent. The Japanese yen, another safe haven that benefits in times of stress, lost 0.2per cent to last trade at 106.57 to the dollar.
Investors are focused on the annual meeting of central bankers in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, where U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell will speak at the symposium on Friday.
