The FTSE 100 is seen off by 48 points at 7,646; the DAX 40 is set to open off by 95 points at 12,514; and the CAC 40 is expected to start lower by 34 points at 5,398; according to IG.

Asian shares traded mostly lower, with Chinese stocks under pressure in particular. The U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer said that there could be a new 10 percent tariff on $200 billion of Chinese goods. Officials in China have said the tariffs harm the World Trade Organization (WTO) system and globalization.
