A rebound in market sentiment continued in early European trading on Wednesday, with world shares set for their biggest two-day jump since November last year.

LONDON - A rebound in market sentiment continued in early European trading on Wednesday, with world shares set for their biggest two-day jump since November last year as investors became less concerned about the Omicron variant.

The MSCI world equity index, which tracks shares in 50 countries, was up 0.2 percent - its highest since Nov. 26, when Omicron fears first hit markets. British drugmaker GSK said on Tuesday its antibody-based COVID-19 therapy with US partner Vir Biotechnology was effective against all mutations of Omicron.

Last week, Fed Chair Jerome Powell said it might be time to stop seeing inflation as transitory, suggesting the central bank could speed up tapering.
