  "summary": "US markets closed higher on Friday after weak US jobs data lowered the odds of Federal Reserve rate hikes. Major US indices spent most of the day solidly in positive territory following the lacklustre hiring data for September, with the S&P 500 gaining 0.7 percent to 7,722.72, the Nasdaq Composite gaining 1.2 percent to 27,190.86, and the Dow rising half a percent to 51,176.96. Oil prices retreated as G7 leaders agreed to an emergency release of fuel reserves, with the US benchmark finishing down around two percent at US$91.11 per barrel.",
