European stocks fall as investors wait for Trump move on China

European stocks opened lower on Friday, with investors rattled by rising tensions between the U.S. and China. The Stoxx Europe 600 index fell 0.9%, while the German DAX dropped 1.2% and the FTSE 100 index fell 0.8%. U.S. equities fell into the close on Thursday after President Donald Trump said he would hold a news conference to discuss China on Friday. The U.S. has been expressing unhappiness with China, which just passed controversial new security laws for Hong Kong. Dow futures were down over 100 points. Among stocks on the move, shares of AstraZeneca PLC climbed 3.4% after the company reported strong results for a Phase III trial of its Tagrisso lung-cancer drug. Shares of Renault SA slid 4.5% after the French carmaker announced it would cut more than 14,000 jobs over 3 years. That was amid a weaker auto sector overall.
