BANGKOK — World shares were mixed on Monday, the day before U.S. President Donald Trump’s deadline for imposing higher tariffs on goods imported from China.

Oil prices extended declines that began last week on expectations for a possible breakthrough in the Ukraine conflict from Trump's planned meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday in Alaska. Increases in output by the OPEC plus countries have also pulled prices lower on expectations of higher supplies.

In early European trading, Germany's DAX edged 0.1% lower to 24,127.50, while the CAC 40 in Paris shed 0.2% to 7,728.58. Britain's FTSE 100 gained 0.2% to 9,114.27.

The future for the S&P 500 was up 0.1% while that for the Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 0.2%.

The Hang Seng in Hong Kong edged 0.2% higher to 24,906.
