EUROPEAN SHARES EXPECTED TO FLAG (0632 GMT)

After a strong two-day rally taking the market to three-week highs, European shares are seen faltering at the open with spreadbetters indicating the main indices down 5 to 12 points. A notable lack of detail in the U.S. and China's statements after this week's trade talks could be to blame.

Trade talks between China and the United States this week were extensive, and helped establish a foundation for the resolution of each others' concerns, China's commerce ministry said on Thursday, but gave no details on the issues at stake.

Asian shares edged up overnight as stimulus expectations and a rise in the yuan helped Chinese equities erase early losses, while markets awaited more news on U.S.-China trade talks amid hopes that an all-out trade war can be averted.

Financial spreadbetters at IG (Frankfurt: A0EARV - news) expect London's FTSE to open 12 points lower at 6,895, Frankfurt's DAX to open 5 points lower at 10,889 and Paris' CAC to open 6 points lower at 4,807.
