France's CAC 40 shed 0.5% in early trading to 5,043.73. Germany's DAX was little changed at 12,906.87, down less than 0.1%. U.S. shares were set to drift lower with Dow futures down 0.1% at 26,486.5. “But with increasing dangers of political missteps and policy fumbles, the question is whether things could start to come undone in a more alarming manner,” said Narita.
