UPDATE 1-Euro zone bonds tick higher before key U.S. jobs report

Euro zone bond yields rose slightly on Friday as investors waited for U.S. employment and wage data for March, which will help guide the Federal Reserve's decision on when to cut interest rates. Yields were set to end the week higher after some strong U.S. manufacturing data at the start of the week and hawkish comments from Fed officials. Germany's 10-year bond yield, the benchmark for the bloc, was last up 2 basis points (bps) at 2.373%.
