Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Friday.
The market's advance was broadly based, although economy-sensitive producers of commodities, autos and chemicals, along with technology stocks and insurers, were the strongest.
The boost to sentiment sets the stage for next week's kick-off to the US earnings season when the market will look for fresh guidance from corporates like General Electric, Alcoa, and Yahoo!.
"Faith in the global upturn remains intact, aided by the latest surge in US payrolls," said strategist Anais Faraj of Nomura bank.
The benchmark S&P/ASX 200 index lost 7.6 points or 0.2 percent to close at 3438.6, up on the week by 10.1 points.
The All-share index closed up 1.2 percent or 125.06 points to 10,890.61, rising 237.41 over the week, the Gold index ended down 1.93 percent or 43.62 points to 2210.75, down 74.35 from last Friday, while the Industrial index closed up 1.21 percent or 88.41 points to 7409.87, a rise of 236.61 from March 26.
