International markets such as Japan’s Nikkei and Topix gained 2.02 percent and 1.52 percent, respectively, while South Korea’s Kospi and Kosdaq surged 0.8 percent and 0.48 percent. US equities closed up on Friday, driven by gains in tech stocks and positive inflation data, with the Dow Jones rising 1.64 percent, the S&P 500 increasing 1.11 percent, and the Nasdaq Composite up 1.03 percent.
