 PARIS, Nov 6 (Reuters) - European shares were seen mixed on Friday,
following a two-session rebound, as investors braced for key U.S. monthly jobs
data that could shed light on the outlook for the world's biggest economy.
 Financial spreadbetters expected Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE to open 9 to 14
points higher, Germany's DAX .GDAXI to open down 4 points to up 1 point, and
France's CAC-40 .FCHI to open 11 to 16 points higher.
 European shares set a one-week closing high on Thursday, helped by improving U.S. macro data and as both the Bank of England and the European Central Bank kept interest rates unchanged at
1919247215
 The FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 index of top European shares, which has surged
54 percent since tumbling to a record low in March, is down about 4 percent since reaching a one-year high in mid-October.
