GLOBAL MARKETS-World shares bounce, dollar dips as Biden-Xi call helps mood

Global shares rose and the dollar edged lower on Friday as news of a call between Xi Jinping and Joe Biden offered some relief to traders eyeing cautious central bank steps towards ending stimulus. That helped China shares rise 0.9%, giving a fillip to the region and lifting MSCI’s World index , its broadest gauge of global stock markets, up 0.3%, on course to end a three-day losing streak. The pace at which central banks, especially the U.S. Federal Reserve and European Central Bank, choose to trim their support for the economy remains the driving force of market sentiment amid rising inflation concerns.
