UPDATE 1-Italian budget worries knock European shares lower
Italian shares led losses in Europe on Wednesday after the country's deputy prime minister said Rome was ready to break EU fiscal rules, masking early gains fueled by optimism around U.S.-China trade rhetoric. Italy's deputy prime minister Matteo Salvini's comments from Tuesday have raised concerns about the country's high spending, taking a hit on Italian banks. "It's not the first time the Italians have pushed the boundaries with EU fiscal rules, it is just this time his rhetoric has come at a time when the markets are probably more sensitive to this commentary than normal," said John Woolfitt at Atlantic Markets.

UPDATE 2-European shares edge higher on trade optimism; U.S. bank earnings weigh
European shares ended higher on Monday with telecom and retail stocks leading gains as Sino-U.S. trade optimism and strong Chinese economic data eased some worries over global growth - though lackluster earnings from big U.S. banks weighed. The pan-European STOXX 600 index rose for the fourth straight session, hovering near eight-month highs with most indices in the region gaining, apart from Britain's FTSE 100 which lost ground as miners and oil majors fell. Markets cheered the progress in trade talks after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday he hoped that the United States and China were close to the final round of negotiations.

UPDATE 2-London's FTSE 100 subdued, IWG lifts midcaps
Britain's FTSE 100 was at a loss for direction on Monday as a dip in miners and oil majors offset gains in bank stocks, while office group IWG pushed midcaps higher after announcing an asset sale. The blue-chip index ended a lackluster session about flat, lagging its European peers, while the FTSE 250 held on to its six-month high with a 0.5 percent rise as a stronger pound also aided. The pound's gains followed upbeat comments from Britain's foreign minister Jeremy Hunt on talks between the government and the opposition Labour Party to find a consensus over Brexit.

European shares subdued after U.S.-China trade deal hopes
European shares were steady in early trade on Monday, as hopes that Sino-U.S. trade talks could be nearing their final stages and strong Chinese economic data eased worries over the global economy, but domestic trade tensions kept a lid on advances. Milan's main index and Madrid's led with gains of 0.4 percent, while London's FTSE 100 lagged with a 0.1 percent dip. Asian shares neared nine-month highs after U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Saturday a U.S.-China trade agreement would go "way beyond" previous efforts to open China's markets to U.S. companies, and hoped that the two sides were close to the final round of negotiations.

The exporter-heavy FTSE 100, which had scaled six month highs for the most of last week, was down 0.1 percent by 0718 GMT, as a stronger pound also weighed, while the midcaps also dipped by the same amount.

Compass hits lifetime high after caterer serves up growth
The result topped a Jefferies forecast of 5 percent growth while analysts at Morningstar said, given waning European economic conditions, Compass' 6.4 percent organic growth there was "a shock". The provider of 5.5 billion meals a year for office workers, soldiers and school children in more than 50 countries said it expects organic growth for the year to be slightly above the middle of its 4-6 percent guidance. "We remain a touch cautious and conservative in the outlook," Blakemore said, noting factors including Brexit, the aftermath of the U.S. government shutdown and street protests in France.
