DAX Gains As Investors Cheer US Labor Market Data

(RTTNews) - German stocks eked out modest gains on Friday after new U.S. labor market data eased recession concerns in the world's largest economy.

Media powerhouse RTL Group added nearly 2 percent as it reported a 4.7 percent year-on-year increase in TV advertising revenue for the first half of the year.
