European equities are expected to open lower Wednesday on renewed fears that the Chinese economy is losing its footing.
In Asia, equities slid deeper into the red on Wednesday, after a preliminary reading of activity in China's mammoth manufacturing sector fell to a six-and-a-half-year low of 47.0 in September, rekindling worries over the world's second-largest economy.
The downbeat sentiment persisted even as Chinese President Xi Jinping defended his country's growth pace and reassured the world that China's financial markets will remain stable in his first policy address during a state visit to the U.S.
In corporate news, German carmaker Volkswagen continues to dominate market talk after its shares fell another 20 percent on Tuesday, adding to the previous day's losses. Chief executive Martin Winterkorn is under increasing pressure due to the scandal – the carmaker is accused of falsifying emission tests and VW said 11 million cars could be affected.
