LONDON (AP) — Global stock markets held onto their gains Friday after a mixed U.S. jobs report that raised the possibility the Federal Reserve might delay another cut to its stimulus program.

The U.S. economy, the world’s largest, added only 113,000 jobs in January, far below the 170,000 analysts had been expecting. Following a weak December, it suggests the U.S. recovery is losing speed compared with the end of 2013.
