ROME – European markets rose modestly Friday, with mining stocks boosted by Australia's decision to dump a "super profits" tax on the sector, but sentiment remained fragile ahead of a crucial U.S. jobs report.
The Australian government defused a damaging fight with big business by retreating from a planned 40 percent tax on miners' biggest profits, opting instead for a softer resource rent tax of 30 percent.
Resource-related shares advanced in Australia, with BHP Billiton Ltd. rising 0.3 percent and Rio Tinto Ltd. up 0.7 percent — and boosted trading on London's FTSE 100. Anglo-American Antofagasta rose 1.2 percent and Kazakhmys was up 2.8 percent.
