Global stock markets mostly rise, dollar weakens after US employment data

Global stock markets mostly rose on Thursday as investors reacted to weaker-than-expected US employment data. The data eased fears of aggressive interest rate increases, which had previously weighed on market sentiment.

The US dollar weakened against major currencies, while stock prices advanced on key exchanges including New York, London, and Tokyo. Analysts noted that market participants had been overly pessimistic about the pace of monetary tightening.

Oil prices also climbed, supported in part by the dollar's decline. Overall, market sentiment was positive, with investors hopeful that central banks will not raise rates as quickly as initially anticipated.
