Global Cues
In the US, stocks closed higher aided by a pullback in treasury yields from multi-year highs after a survey showed 89,000 private jobs were added in Sept, way below the 160,000 estimate.
The Dow Jones gained 0.39 per cent, the S&P 500 added 0.81 per cent and the Nasdaq Composite gained 1.35 per cent.
