MORNING CALL: EUROPEAN SHARES SEEN RISING (0632 GMT)

Good morning! Financial spreadbetters see European stocks rising at the open, shrugging off

uncertainty sparked by Italy's inconclusive election and as concerns over possible trade wars

ease.

Spreadbetters expect Britain's FTSE to gain 34 points, Germany's DAX to rise 91 points and

France's CAC to advance 28 points.

Asian stocks gained overnight, as U.S. President Donald Trump faces growing pressure from

political and diplomatic allies as well as U.S. companies over his plan to impose steel and

aluminium tariffs. Wall St closed higher.
