Dow jumps 300 points, S&P 500 rallies to record close after strong October jobs data; Europe markets close higher on strong US, China data; Danske Bank down 4%

Stocks rose sharply on Friday as investor sentiment got a lift from much stronger-than-expected U.S. jobs data. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed 301.13 points higher, or 1.1% to27,347.36. The S&P 500 gained 1% to end the day at 3,066.91, a fresh record close. The Nasdaq Composite also hit an all-time high, climbing 1.1% to 8,386.40.
Exxon Mobil was among the best-performing stocks in the Dow on the back of stronger-than-forecast quarterly results. The stock gained 3%. The industrials and financials sectors rose more than 1.4% each. Apple shares rose more than 2% to a record high, lifting the Nasdaq. U.S. Steel shares rose 14.8% after the company posted Thursday afternoon a smaller-than-expected quarterly loss.
The U.S. economy added 128,000 jobs in October, the Labor Department said Friday. Economists polled by Dow Jones expected a gain of 75,000 jobs for the previous month. October jobs growth easily beat estimates despite a decline of 42,000 jobs in the autos sector due to a General Motors strike that has now been settled.
European stocks closed higher Friday after a strong U.S. jobs report and an unexpected bounce in Chinese manufacturing activity. The pan-European Stoxx 600 closed up around 0.6% provisionally, with almost all sectors and major bourses in positive territory. The benchmark nudged just 0.16% lower for the week.
Denmark’s largest lender reported slightly weaker-than-anticipated third-quarter earnings and announced it had narrowed down its annual profit goals. Shares of Danske Bank slumped nearly 4% on the news.
