Here is how major stock markets outside the United States ended on Friday. LONDON - Britain's top shares dipped to end down on the week as oil and mining stocks were hit by a tumble in commodity prices and insurer Old Mutual fell on the prospect of making its biggest ever acquisition.The FTSE 100 closed at 4,886.5 points, down 6.7 or 0.14 percent, losing 32.4 points since last Friday. EUROPE - European shares ended slightly weaker with losses in the heavyweight energy sector led by Royal Dutch almost cancelled out by gains in tech shares, boosted by support from Wall Street, and cars. A reversal on Wall Street, recovering from overnight weakness after an upbeat outlook from PC maker Dell, helped limit the losses from earlier in the session, dealers said. The FTSEurofirst pan-European 300 index ended down 0.07 percent at 1,077.74 points, giving up Thursday's gains. FRANKFURT - The DAX index ended at 4,275.7 points, up 8.65 or 0.20 percent, a fall of 35.36 points on the week. --More 2058 Local Time 1758 GMT
