Asian shares put in a mixed performance across the region on Friday but were underpinned by gains on Wall Street, while the dollar resumed its recent rally after a downward blip on disappointing U.S. retail sales data. Financial spreadbetters predicted the U.S. gains would give European bourses an early lift, with Britain’s FTSE 100 (.FTSE) seen opening 12 points to 14 points higher, or as much as 0.2 percent, and France’s CAC 40 (.FCHI) seen opening 15 to 16 points higher, or as much as 0.3 percent.
