SINGAPORE, Feb 25 (Reuters) – Asian markets rebounded on Friday following Wall Street’s surprising overnight reversal, as investors weighed the longer-term impact of tough Western sanctions against Russia after it

unleashed troops, tanks and missiles on Ukraine.

European stock markets looked set to follow Asia higher even as Russia pressed its attacks and global condemnation grew, with FTSE futures adding 0.78%, European futures up 2.2% and German stock market DAX futures rising 1.56%.

But U.S. share futures slipped in Asian trade, with S&P500 e-mini futures losing 0.61% and Nasdaq futures down 0.92%.

Some analysts said the sanctions by the United States, Europe and a number of other countries were not as strong as markets had feared.

MSCI’s broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan (.MIAPJ0000PUS) was up 0.57% by midday, Shanghai’s composite index (.SSEC) was up 0.57% and Japan’s Nikkei (.N225) was up 1.27%. South Korea’s benchmark KOSPI index added 1.01%, recovering from a decline on Thursday.

Hong Kong’s Hang Seng index and Australian shares fell slightly, 0.44% and 0.03% respectively, after a strong start.

Investors rediscovered their risk appetite overnight after some initial sharp losses, with major U.S. indices posting gains, led by tech stocks.

But some analysts worry any rallies might be fleeting.

“Biden’s sanctions and reluctance to pour troops in is providing some relief. But this conflict is going to be a protracted issue and add to global inflationary pressures that will keep central banks on track for tightening,” said Kyle Rodda, analyst at IG Markets in Melbourne.

“It’s okay for now, but in the long-term the market will be tracking to the downside,” he said.

Oil prices surged again on worries about supply disruptions, with Brent crude rising 2% to $101.80 a barrel, while U.S. West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude also…
