European stocks ended mostly higher and rose to seven-year high amid Greek deal prospects, as Greece is expected to submit a loan request on Thursday to extend a loan agreement for up to six months.

On the other hand, most Asian stocks advanced on Wednesday due to investor optimism ahead of a European Central Bank meeting on bailout conditions for Greece, though many markets of the region were shut for the Lunar New Year.
