(Reuters) - European stocks opened flat on Friday after two sessions of gains, as the effect of this week's upbeat signals on U.S.-China trade talks and European politics wore off, with investors' attention turning to U.S. jobs data due later in the day.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index (STOXX) was roughly unchanged at 0715 GMT after starting marginally lower, with the exporter-heavy FTSE 100 (FTSE) lagging the broader market as London-listed miners fell.
Thyssenkrupp AG (DE:TKAG) was the biggest gainer on Germany's DAX index with a 1.3% gain after Finland's Kone (HE:KNEBV) said it and a private equity partner would bid for the conglomerate's elevator business.
The DAX (GDAXI) rose 0.3%, shrugging off data showing an unexpected fall in industrial output in July.
