Futures brushed aside a 4% drop for the China's Shanghai Composite , though Asia trade remained volatile. Oil prices rebounded as well, with October crude up 78 cents, or 2%, to $39.02 a barrel. Other markets also defied losses for China, such as Australia's ASX 200 index rose 2.3%, and the Hong Kong Hang Seng index gained 1.6%. The Nikkei 225 index dropped just over 4.3% at the open, rebounded 1.6% and was back off another 1% recently.
