MORNING CALL: EUROPEAN SHARES SEEN OPENING LOWER (0533 GMT)
Good morning. An escalation in the U.S.-China trade dispute is set to knock back European
shares this morning, after the Trump administration said it would slap 10 percent tariffs on an
extra $200 billion worth of Chinese imports.
"While this marks a significant escalation in the US-China trade dispute, we believe a
negotiated settlement is still likely to happen before the new tariffs are implemented,"
analysts at Credit Suisse (IOB: 0QP5.IL - news) wealth management said in a note.
Nevertheless, financial spreadbetters expect Britain's FTSE 100 to fall 0.5 percent,
Germany's DAX is seen retreating 0.6-0.7 percent and France's CAC is seen opening 0.5-0.6
percent lower.
The U.S. threat of additional tariffs hit Chinese shares, though Wall Street ended in
positive territory with the S&P 500 reaching its highest close since the February sell-off.
