MORNING CALL: EUROPEAN SHARES SEEN LOWER (0527 GMT)

European shares are seen opening slightly lower this morning in another busy day for

earnings releases and following losses in Asia and Wall Street overnight.

Financial spreadbetters expect London's FTSE to open 21 points lower at 7,522, Frankfurt's

DAX to open 36 points lower at 12,767 and Paris' CAC to open 24 points lower at 5,505.

While in Asia shares were weighed down by waning hopes for real progress in Sino (Dusseldorf: 1205802.DU - news) -U.S. trade

talks, U.S. stocks fell after the Federal Reserve left interest rates steady and said inflation

had "moved close" to its target.
