China's Caixin Services PMI showed a slight acceleration in activity to 50.4 from 50.2, but was still a bit weaker than expected.

Asia & Europe detail:

Asia: Nikkei CLOSED, Hang Seng +2.5%, Shanghai Composite +0.7%

Equity indices in the Asia-Pacific region ended the week on a higher note while Japan's Nikkei was closed for Culture Day.

Australia's Services PMI returned into contractionary territory in the final October reading while China's Caixin Services PMI showed a slight acceleration in activity.
