(Reuters) - European shares edged higher on Wednesday, after a four-day slump, as gains in technology stocks and encouraging China services sector data helped offset more worries around the U.S.-China trade dispute.
The pan-European STOXX 600 index <.STOXX> rose 0.2% by 0812 GMT, after hitting a one-month low on Tuesday following U.S. President Donald Trump's remarks that a trade agreement with China might have to wait until after the U.S. presidential election in November 2020.
Trade-sensitive German shares <.GDAXI>, up about 0.2%, also recovered from a 1-month low, with chipmakers including Infineon Technologies <IFXGn.DE> and STMicroelectronics <STM.PA> gaining after upbeat earnings forecast from U.S. peer Microchip Technology <MCHP.O>.
Shares in Airbus <AIR.PA> rose 0.6% after winning an order from U.S. carrier United Airlines <UAL.O>.
A big decliner was French telecom company Orange <ORAN.PA>, sliding 3.9%, after traders pointed to disappointment over the firm's dividend outlook even as it announced plans to carve out its mobile towers in most European countries where it is present.
