Analyst View
On Wall Street, U.S. stocks rose for the second straight day, reversing the sharp pullback at the start of the week. The S&P 500 rose 1.2% to 4,448.98, Dow Jones gained 1.5% to 34,764.82, while the Nasdaq rose 1% to 15,052.24 to close the week.

Meanwhile, Japan’s benchmark advanced but other Asian markets were lower Friday amid concerns over troubled Chinese real estate developer Evergrande and the pandemic. Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 jumped 2.1% to finish at 30,248.81 after reopening from Thursday's national holiday. Hong Kong's Hang Seng declined 0.2% to 24,463.66, while the Shanghai Composite lost nearly 0.6% to 3,622.10.

Markets are expected to remain prone to volatilities, unstable sentiments, and negative shocks because the underlying market risks are yet to be addressed.

In energy trading, benchmark U.S. crude oil rose 7 cents to $73.37 a barrel in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Brent crude, the international standard, added 20 cents to $77.45 a barrel.

In currency trading, the U.S. dollar rose to 110.52 Japanese yen from 110.30 yen. The euro cost $1.1737, little changed from $1.1736.
