European stocks close mixed but post strongest week since June
The pan-European STOXX 600 gained more than two percent over the week, its best showing since late June.
European stock markets closed mixed on Friday but posted their strongest weekly performance since late June, Qatar's state news agency QNA reported.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index ended the session unchanged at 664.14 points, though it gained more than two percent over the week.
Germany's DAX index fell 0.06 percent to close at 26,756.70 points.
The UK's FTSE 100 index rose 0.36 percent to finish at 10,902.56 points.
France's CAC 40 index slipped 0.02 percent to end at 8,360.23 points.
The report did not give reasons for the day's movements in the individual markets.
The STOXX 600 tracks large, mid and small companies across a number of European countries, and it is widely used as a benchmark for the region's equity market.
The DAX, FTSE 100 and CAC 40 track the largest listed companies in Germany, Britain and France, respectively, so their moves are often read as a guide to those economies' corporate sectors.
Stock indexes are weighted averages of share prices, so a small percentage change can reflect gains and losses across many companies at once.
A mixed close means some markets rose while others fell, which is why investors often look at weekly results to judge the broader trend.
