Global stocks end worst quarter in four years on upbeat note

Global equities ended their worst quarter since the 2011 euro zone crisis on an upbeat note with a rally on Wednesday on hopes that Wall Street had bottomed and the commodities rout was over, while the dollar also rose. Slower Chinese growth also slammed commodity prices and countries that depend on their export. Peugot rose 6.4 percent and Fiat Chrysler rose 4.8 percent in Europe.
