July 2 (Reuters) - European shares edged higher in early
trading on Tuesday, following a rally from the previous session,
but Washington's tariff threats on $4 billion of additional EU
goods kept gains in check.
Days after reaching a truce in the U.S.-China trade war, the
U.S. government on Monday ratcheted up pressure on Europe in a
long-running dispute over aircraft subsidies.
Planemaker Airbus AIR.PA dropped 1% and pressured France's
CAC 40 index .FCHI , which underperformed the pan-European
STOXX 600 index's .STOXX 0.2% gain by 0715 GMT.
The U.S. Trade Representative's office released a list of
additional products - including olives, Italian cheese and
Scotch whiskey - that could be hit with tariffs, on top of
products worth $21 billion that were announced in April.
Financials .SXFP rose 0.4% and was the biggest boost to
markets, as shares of HSBC Holdings HSBA.L rose 0.4% and
Prudential Plc PRU.L climbed 1%.
