    Thanks afternoon crew.

    End-of-day summary:

    A broad rally got the Australian trading week off to a positive start ahead of US jobs data, a Federal Reserve rates decision and earnings from Apple and Amazon.


    The ASX 200 rebounded 61.5 points or 0.81%, reversing more than half of Friday's 107-point plunge. REITs, tech companies and telcos outperformed during a recovery that lifted every sector except energy. BHP was one of the few major drags, easing 0.42% after Anglo American rejected a takeover offer.

    US stocks steadied on Friday as upbeat trading updates from Alphabet and Microsoft helped offset mixed inflation data. The S&P 500 firmed 1.02%.
