EUROPEAN BOURSES SEEN RISING AS TRADE WAR ENTERS NEW PHASE (0525 GMT)

European bourses are expected to rise at the open just after U.S. tariffs on $34 billion in Chinese imports took effect as a deadline passed on Friday.

While one could have expected markets to fall, financial spreadbetters expect London's FTSE to open 26 points higher, Frankfurt's DAX up 60 points and Paris' CAC to rise 32 points.
