World stocks cap best week since 09; euro falls

NEW YORK (Reuters) - World stocks edged higher on Friday and registered their biggest weekly advance since March 2009 as data showed a drop in the U.S. jobless rate, while the euro fell after four days of gains. The jobs data supported the view that the U.S. economy would avoid another recession, even as Europe battles its debt crisis. Markets have posted strong gains after central bank moves.
