Glance-Europe Factors-Shares set to track dip in Asia, commods
Mon, 15th Mar 2010 06:37
PARIS, March 15 (Reuters) - European equities were set to dip on Monday,
tracking losses in Asia in the wake of mixed U.S. macro data, and as commodity
prices drifted lower.
But resource-related shares could find support in news that China National
Offshore Oil Corp, China's biggest offshore oil explorer, plans a
joint venture with Argentina's Bridas Energy Holdings, paying $3.1 billion to
take a 50 percent stake in one of the company's units.
Financial spreadbetters expected Britain's FTSE 100 to open 1 to 9
points lower, Germany's DAX to open 7 to 14 points lower and France's
CAC-40 to open 11 to 12 points lower.
