SYDNEY: Most Asian share markets rose on Monday on optimism the Federal Reserve would pause its rate hikes this month after a mixed US jobs report, while oil prices jumped after Saudi Arabia pledged big output cuts.
The optimism is set to run into some resistance in Europe, with pan-regional Euro Stoxx 50 futures down 0.2%. S&P 500 futures dipped 0.1% and Nasdaq futures dropped 0.4%.
