European stocks were seen opening cautiously Thursday, with high-level trade talks between the U.S. and China set to commence against a backdrop of geopolitical tensions.
Trade negotiations between the world's two largest economies are due to recommence in Washington later on Thursday, with the White House denying a report from the South China Morning Post that Chinese Vice Premier Liu He intends to leave after the first day of minister-level meetings. CNBC reported, citing a White House official, that Liu is still scheduled to leave on Friday evening.
There had been reports Wednesday that China was considering a partial deal, but the White House official told CNBC that President Trump has yet to decide whether a breakthrough can be made.
