European stocks were mixed on Friday but were on track to post their biggest weekly percentage gain in more than three months on easing worries about inflation and interest-rate hikes.
Traders awaited cues from the U.S. earnings season, with financial giants Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo due to release their quarterly results before the start of trading.
The pan European STOXX 600 was marginally higher at 461.48 but was on track for a 3 percent weekly gain, marking its best week since the end of March. The German DAX slipped 0.2 percent, while France's CAC 40 edged up 0.3 percent and the U.K.'s FTSE 100 was up 0.1 percent.
