Healthcare stocks advanced, with Fresenius Medical Care rallying 3.7 percent.

Banks Commerzbank and Deutsche Bank were down half a percent and 1.4 percent, respectively.

Eurozone bond yields declined, with the German 10-year Bund yield falling by 6 basis points to 2.534 percent from 2.598 percent after U.S. Treasury yields fell to two-month lows on Thursday on weak U.S. data.
