US stocks have risen after steep falls on Tuesday, as the head of the Federal Reserve said that no single trigger was responsible for the sell-off.

Ben Bernanke, Federal Reserve chairman, said on Wednesday that he still expects "moderate growth" in the US economy, giving investors confidence to buy stocks one day after the Dow fell 416 points.

Chinese stocks also recovered by about four per cent, a day after the Shanghai Composite index fell nearly nine per cent – the biggest decline for a decade.

However, markets in Europe and Asia fell for a second day amid concerns about possible slowdowns in the US and Chinese economies.
