European shares gain before U.S. payrolls
European shares advanced on Friday snapping their five-day series of losses before a government report showed that employers in the U.S. added jobs last month raising optimism that the Federal Reserve may curb its stimulus measures on the next policy meeting. The benchmark Stoxx Europe 600 Index gained 0.3% to 315.36 as of 10:29 a.m. London time.
