SMALL GAINS SEEN IN EUROPE (0532 GMT)

Shares are expected to eke out small gains at the open as investors digest a raft of Chinese data that showed the world's No. 2 economy slowed to 6.2% in the second quarter, its weakest pace in at least 27 years, while more upbeat June factory output and retail sales provided some reassurance.

Still, some analysts cautioned the gains in June may not be sustainable, and expect Beijing will continue to roll out more stimulus measures in coming months.
