LONDON: European stock markets rose at the start of trading on Friday, with London's FTSE 100 index up 0.23 percent to 6,068.65 points.
Frankfurt's DAX 30 advanced 0.41 percent to 7,502.83 points and in Paris the CAC 40 gained 0.39 percent to stand at 3,995.43.
Traders are meanwhile eagerly awaiting Friday's non-farm payrolls report in the United States.
European equities had risen on Thursday as better-than-expected US jobs data helped offset persistent concerns over how and when the eurozone debt crisis can be resolved.
