Aventis and SAP will be eyed for clues on how companies gauge the business environment. Across Europe, London's FTSE 100 was 0.08 percent higher, while Paris's CAC 40 and Frankfurt's DAX shed 0.3 percent and 0.2 percent, respectively. The SMI inched 0.06 percent higher in Zurich. The media sector led the market lower after the head of ProSiebenSat.1, Germany's biggest commercial TV broadcaster, told the Financial Times Deutschland the firm expected market growth to slow in the second half of this year. The TV broadcaster said it now expected growth of between 0 and 2 percent this year, down from a previous estimate of 2 percent. The comments sent rivals RTL Group and TF1 down 3.9 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively. --More 2151 Local Time 1851 GMT
