European stocks are expected to open higher on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump extended the hiatus on attacks on Iran's energy infrastructure to allow more time for negotiations. This follows a disappointing day for European bourses as investors struggled to assess the status of Middle East peace talks. The FTSE 100 is expected to rise by 0.3% and France's CAC 40 is expected by 0.,15%. Meanwhile, Pernod Ricard and Brown-Forman, which owns whisky brand Jack Daniels, have reportedly begun merger discussions.
