July 26 -Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening higher on Friday, with futures FFIc1 up 0.4%.
* OIL: Oil prices were up slightly on stronger-than-expected U.S. economic data that raised investor expectations for increasing crude oil demand from the world's largest energy consumer.
* GOLD: Gold was on track for a weekly loss, even as prices firmed ahead of a key U.S. inflation reading that could offer more cues on when the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates.
* METALS: Copper prices were subdued as concerns over demand in top consumer China weighed, although the market found support from better-than-expected U.S. data that raised expectations for a September interest rate cut by the Federal Reserve.
* FTSE: Britain's FTSE 100 ended higher on Thursday after upbeat earnings from Unilever and British American Tobacco helped counter losses in precious metal miners on the back of a slump in gold prices.
