WHAT'S ON THE RADAR AHEAD OF EUROPE'S OPEN (0638 GMT)

It's looking like a gloomy start to European equity trading this morning after the U.S. said

that it may impose tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, sending

European stocks futures 0.5-0.8 percent lower.

While the STOXX 600 has risen for the past six sessions, this is likely to come to an end

today as tariffs talk knocks risk appetite. However, the upcoming earnings season could provide

some distraction.

Today a number of British companies have given trading updates. Burberry's Q1 sales rose in

line with expectations, while recruiter PageGroup (Frankfurt: 658848 - news) 's said that it expects full-year profit to

come in ahead of consensus.

And M&A news is never lacking these days after Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox said it had

agreed a deal to buy Britain's Sky (Frankfurt: 893517 - news) in a $32.5 billion bid.

Here are this morning's key headlines:

MORNING CALL: EUROPEAN SHARES SEEN OPENING LOWER (0533 GMT)

Good morning. An escalation in the U.S.-China trade dispute is set to knock back European

shares this morning, after the Trump administration said it would slap 10 percent tariffs on an

extra $200 billion worth of Chinese imports.

"While this marks a significant escalation in the US-China trade dispute, we believe a

negotiated settlement is still likely to happen before the new tariffs are implemented,"

analysts at Credit Suisse (IOB: 0QP5.IL - news) wealth management said in a note.

Nevertheless, financial spreadbetters expect Britain's FTSE 100 to fall 0.5 percent,

Germany's DAX is seen retreating 0.6-0.7 percent and France's CAC is seen opening 0.5-0.6

percent lower.

The U.S. threat of additional tariffs hit Chinese shares, though Wall Street ended in

positive territory with the S&P 500 reaching its highest close since the February sell-off.
