The Asian markets ended higher on Friday, as a slew of weak US economic reports reduced the chances of a Federal Reserve rate hike next week. The markets in the region rebounded further following a sharp rise in Apple shares overnight, which boosted major US indexes. Though, overall gains remained capped somewhat outside Australia and India, as oil prices drifted lower in Asian deals on expectations of more supply from Nigeria and Libya, and the safe-haven Japanese yen firmed up ahead of BOJ's comprehensive review of its easing program. The markets in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, South Korea and Taiwan were closed for the Mid-Autumn festival.
