Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Friday.
Further upbeat earnings from companies including miner Anglo American and German insurer Allianz also buoyed sentiment. The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 index of leading shares closed 1.2 percent firmer at 1,345.5 points having been up 0.5 percent ahead of the US jobs data.
The benchmark, which ended almost flat on the week, had slipped 0.9 percent on Thursday as the Bank of England surprised with its first interest rate rise in two years and the European Central Bank sounded hawkish after raising rates, as expected.
The All Gold index closed at 3044.38 points, down 23.76 or 0.77 percent, but up on the week by 105.56 points. The Industrial index closed at 13517.67 points, up 117.89 or 0.88 percent, but shedding 121.35 points since last weekend.
