FRANKFURT, Germany (Reuters) -- European shares turned positive on Friday as financial stocks gained after a rally in U.S. markets and despite sharp falls in Asia.
By 0725 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of leading European shares was up 0.08 percent at 1,442.55 points.
An end-of-day rally in U.S. markets, led by financial shares, pushed the S&P benchmark index into positive territory, fueled by speculation about a possible Federal Reserve interest rate cut.
Germany's DAX index was down 0.4 percent, the UK's FTSE 100 index rose 0.6 percent and France's CAC 40 gained 0.1 percent. E-mail to a friend
