Asian markets ended mostly higher on Friday, tracked by a positive session at Wall Street overnight after data showed a bigger-than-expected drop in new jobless claims last week, while the US non-farm payrolls data due out later in the day is expected to show continued improvement in the US labour market. Further, the US lawmakers have reached an agreement to temporarily raise the nation's debt limit, avoiding a historic default that would have devastated the economy. Chinese shares gained as Chinese markets came back from one-week holiday and encouraged by a survey showing services sector activity returned to growth in September. Moreover, Hong Kong shares gained amid easing political tensions between China and the United States.
