ASX200 lifted by mining stocks AUSTRALIAN equities ended a turbulent week on a high, latching on to positive sentiment out of Europe and before the release of a US labor report that could reignite concerns over when the Federal Reserve will shift its monetary policy. Mining and energy stocks built on the previous session's recovery from heavy losses earlier in the week and financials also put in a strong showing as most markets in Asia recorded gains, buoyed by indications from the European Central Bank that low interest rates will continue for longer. That managed to overshadow any concerns over the US monthly non-farm payroll report, which will be released after Asian markets stop trading.
