MORNING CALL: EUROPEAN STOCKS SEEN OPENING HIGHER (0626 GMT)

Good morning. European stocks are seen rising today, building on yesterday's gains as

investors await the result of the U.S. Fed's policy meeting.

Financial spreadbetters expect Britain's FTSE to open 13 points higher, Germany's DAX to

gain 45 points and France's CAC to advance 10 points.

Overnight, China and Hong Kong stocks enjoyed gains, while a rise in energy stocks supported

Wall Street.

The focus could once again be on tech stocks after Facebook (NasdaqGS: FB - news) 's shares slid a further 2.6

percent on Tuesday as it faces questions from U.S. and European lawmakers over reports political

consultancy Cambridge Analytica may have improperly gained access to data on 50 million users.
