From Nasdaq:

The Singapore stock market ended a three-day slide and finished modestly higher, following gains in the financial and industrial sectors, with the STI now sitting just beneath the 3,185-point plateau.

The week saw the major averages down, with the Dow adding 0.07 percent to finish at 37,466.11 and the NASDAQ rising 0.09 percent, while the S&P 500 perked 0.18 percent to close at 4,697.24 after job growth raised concerns about potential interest rate hikes. Also, crude oil showed a strong move to the upside, closing at $73.81 a barrel due to fears of a broader regional conflict.
