The share gain helped offset a 1.7 per cent decline in shares of Apple following the iPhone maker's modest growth outlook. The U.S. unemployment rate, however, held steady at 4.1 per cent, offering assurance that the labor market remained on a solid footing. The focus will now turn to the U.S. presidential election, with polls pointing to a knife-edge race.
