MORNING CALL: EUROPEAN SHARES SEEN OPENING LOWER (0528 GMT)

Good morning. European shares are expected to open lower this morning, according to financial spreadbetters, as worries over rising bond yields persist while weakness in tech held back U.S. indexes.

Spreadbetters see Britain's FTSE opening 53 points lower, Germany's DAX falling 111 points and France's CAC down 42 points.

Results from industrial heavyweight Caterpillar and tech giant Alphabet prompted drops in both stocks in the U.S. - it just goes to show how little room there is for disappointment. Overnight in Asia equities were also downbeat.
