European stocks are set to begin Monday's session in the red as investors react to the latest escalation in the U.S.-China trade war.
Britain's FTSE 100 was seen falling about 100 points to 7,007, Germany's DAX down 141 points at 11,495 and France's CAC down 70 points at 5,265, according to IG index data.
Sentiment was shaken in the previous session as China announced plans to impose additional tariffs on $75 billion in U.S. goods, which was followed by President Donald Trump ordering American firms to find an "alternative" to operating in China. Trump said his administration would raise existing duties on $250 billion worth of Chinese products to 30% from 25% on October 1, while levies on another $300 billion in Chinese goods, which will start to take effect on September 1, will now be 15% instead of 10%.
Traders were also keeping a close watch on the Group of Seven summit in the Biarritz, France. The trade rift between the world's two largest economies has clouded the meeting of world leaders, with Trump claiming he "could declare a national emergency" over the issue.
