TRADE TENSIONS TO DEAL ANOTHER BLOW TO EUROPEAN SHARES(0528 GMT)
Europe's stocks are set to extend Friday's fall as investors price in a further escalation
in trade tensions after a report that President Trump plans to bar many Chinese companies from
investing in U.S. technology firms and block additional technology exports to China.
Asian shares fell overnight on escalating trade tensions while oil prices gave up some of
their hefty gains made after major oil producers agreed to a modest increase in production.
The tech sector will be one to watch for any impact from the news of potential technology
investing barriers, while oil and gas stocks are likely to track crude prices lower after a
sharp rally on Friday.
