PARIS, June 22 (Reuters) - European equities were seen mixed on Monday following the previous session's strong gains, with resource-related stocks feeling the pinch of lower commodity prices while investors turn cautious ahead of the U.S. Federal Reserve meeting this week. Financial spreadbetters expect Britain's FTSE 100 to open down 5 points to up 11 points, Germany's DAX to open 3 to 6 points lower and France's CAC-40 to open 6 to 9 points lower.
Investors were bracing for the Fed's guidance on growth and any potential hints on expanding the central bank's $300 billion program of Treasuries purchases.
They will also keep an eye on the Treasury's record $104 billion worth of bond auctions this week to finance massive spending aimed at reviving the world's biggest economy.
European stocks climbed 1.3 percent on Friday on prospects that the global economic recovery was still on track following recent improving economic data, with banks and commodity stocks leading the gainers.
