TOKYO, May 10 (Reuters) - Stocks rose on Monday amid
speculation that interest rates will remain low for an extended
period due to the receding risk of a rapid acceleration in
inflation, while oil prices jumped after a cyber attack on a
U.S. pipeline operator unnerved markets.

U.S. nonfarm payrolls data on Friday showed jobs growth
unexpectedly slowed in April, which gave equities a lift but put
downward pressure on the dollar and U.S. Treasury yields.
Oil futures extended gains after a cyber attack shut down a
U.S. pipeline operator that provides nearly half of the U.S.
east coast's fuel supply.
"It certainly pushes back the timetable for Fed tapering,
perhaps to December from the prior expectations of the Jackson
Hole Symposium in late August," Chris Weston, head of research
at broker Pepperstone in Melbourne, wrote in a memo.
"A softer payrolls is good for the reflation trade; the
dollar weakened across the FX spectrum. We've also seen a solid
bid in equity indices and futures are up."

S&P 500 .SPX rose to record closing highs after disappointing
data on the U.S. jobs market eased concerns about a spike in
consumer prices.
