Global stocks climb on earnings as U.S. yields dip; euro weakens after ECB

A gauge of global equities advanced on Thursday, lifted by a round of solid quarterly earnings in Europe and the United States, while the euro weakened after the head of the European Central Bank hailed "solid" economic growth but kept interest rates unchanged. On Wall Street, technology stocks jumped 2.35 percent, led by a 9.73 percent jump in Facebook Inc and 4.694.62 percent rise in Visa after their quarterly results. Facebook reported a surprisingly strong rise in profit and an increase in users, with no sign that business was hurt by a scandal over the mishandling of users' personal data.
