U.S. stock markets followed Asian and European markets higher Wednesday morning, boosted by a report that pegged August job gains at 91,000. The figure, released by Automatic Data Processing Inc., two days before the monthly government report, was about 10,000 jobs lower than expected and falls short of the number required to lower the unemployment rate. However, the report does not account for public sector jobs, which are included in the Labor Department report. In midmorning trading on Wall Street, the Dow Jones industrial average added 79.84 points or 0.69 percent to 11,639.80. The Standard & Poor\'s 500 index gained 10.54 points or 0.87 percent to 1,223.46. The Nasdaq composite index added 23.49 points or 0.91 percent to 2,599.60. The benchmark 10-year treasury note fell 9/32 to yield 2.17 percent. The euro fell to $1.4413 from Tuesday\'s $1.4442. Against the yen, the dollar fell to 76.466 yen from Tuesday\'s 76.74 yen. Markets rose in Hong Kong, India, Taiwan and Australia. The Shanghai composite index in China was flat, rising 0.03 percent. In Tokyo, the Nikkei 225 index added 0.01 percent, 27.97, to 8,955.20.
