Japanese stock futures rose, indicating the market may rebound from yesterday’s rout that erased $314 billion in market value during the biggest drop in the country’s shares since the 2011 earthquake.

American Depositary Receipts of Honda Motor Co. advanced 1.8 percent from the close in Tokyo after yesterday’s 5.2 percent drop. ADRs of Canon Inc., a camera maker, added 1.7 percent after a 3.9 percent loss. Shares of SoftBank Corp., Japan’s third-largest wireless carrier, may be active after saying it will let the U.S. government have veto power over one nominee to Sprint Nextel Corp.’s board to ease security concerns if its $20.1 billion takeover bid succeeds.
