Shares in Europe are expected to open in mixed terms as the fragile truce between the U.S. and Iran shows signs of strain. The UK's FTSE 100 is predicted to open 0.4% higher, while France's Cac 40 is expected to be 0.2% lower. Iran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammed Bagher Ghalibaf, accused the US of violating the ceasefire less than 24 hours after it was agreed. U.K. President Donald Trump has warned that any breach would result in a military response.
