World stocks edge toward one-month high; U.S. jobs data eyed for Fed clues

[Reuters] - World shares advanced toward their highest level in a month on Friday, although investor wariness over rising prospects of a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike subdued activity as traders awaited U.S. jobs data later in the day. European shares followed Asia higher, with the STOXX Europe 600 up 0.5 percent, boosted by a rebound in commododity-related shares as oil and copper prices both rallied. Markets expect U.S. employment data due at 1230 GMT to show a non-farm payroll increase of about 164,000 and 0.2 percent rise in average wage earnings in May.
