The TSX climbed on Friday with the energy market leading the way tracking higher crude oil prices. The mining sector was a close second. Asian markets were down while Euro markets ended higher.

Investors assessed a crucial U.S. jobs data reading to gauge the Federal Reserve’s interest rate trajectory. November’s non-farm payrolls report showed an unexpected drop in the unemployment rate, which fell to 3.7 per cent from 3.9 per cent the month before. The U.S. economy added 199,000 jobs.
