World stocks are mixed on Friday, June 7, 2024, after a steady day on Wall Street as markets anticipate key U.S. jobs data to be revealed later in the day. released Friday came in hotter than expected, while the euro fell after French President Emmanuel Macron dissolved the National Assembly following a setback in Sunday's parliamentary election.

Overall, it signals continued strength in the jobs market, with some minor signs of weakening. The strong jobs market has supported consumer spending and the broader economy, but it has also been complicating the Federal Reserve's path ahead for interest rates.
