CAPITAL FLOWS IN GLOBAL MARKETS

A global gauge of stocks rose, and US Treasuries and gold fell on Friday as solid American jobs data improved the economic outlook and traders reduced expectations of Fed easing after a protracted period of rate hikes.

The April non-farm payroll data revealed 253,000 new jobs, up from 165,000 in March and above Reuters estimates for 180,000.
