European stock index futures signal gains

PARIS, Apr 19:  European stock index futures pointed to a higher open on Friday following sharp losses earlier this week, although gains could be limited as mining shares may feel the pinch of a further drop in metal prices.
At 0602 GMT, futures for Euro STOXX 50, UK’s FTSE 100, Germany’s DAX and France’s CAC were up 0.3-0.4 percent. (agencies)
