Friday 21:10 BST. Stocks wrapped up the week on a firmer footing while benchmark borrowing costs pulled back sharply from two-year highs as a disappointing US jobs report reduced expectations for a shift in Federal Reserve policy.
On Wall Street, the S&P 500 ended the session flat on the day at 1,655 points. But for the week, the broad measure of US stocks rose 1.4 per cent. Meanwhile, the dollar index retreated 0.6 per cent and helped to push gold up $20 to $1,387 an ounce. The FTSE All World gained 0.4 per cent.
