Snippets from Reuters:

Tokyo: "It's a familiar pattern these days, to sell stocks whenever there's bad news from Europe and buy them back whenever there's good news, but investors are getting tired of it," said Kenichi Hirano, operating officer at Tachibana Securities, adding that this was one reason for recent thin trade.

Rescue Euro find: "Stocks are moving entirely on European politics. The question is can Europe really come up with something, a positive surprise for the market?" HSBC's Evans said of the Oct. 23 meeting, adding that Wednesday's rise was mainly driven by laggard buyers who missed the rally last week.

Bank Earnings: "The market feels a little better following the late rally in equities. But right now, it's all about headline watching from Europe. We are also watching the last of the Wall Street bank earnings today with Morgan Stanley's results due later," said a Singapore based trader with an Asian bank.
