06:46GMT 22Aug2008-European shares set to edge up, commodities eyed

-------------------------------------------------------------------

European shares are set to open higher, steadying after falls in the previous session, with commodity stocks benefitting from strong metal and crude prices and exporters lifted by a slight weakening in the euro.

Futures for the DJ Euro Stoxx 50 , Germany's DAX and France's CAC <.FCEc1> add 0.2 to 0.5 percent.

With the corporate and economic diaries thin, investors are looking to a second release of UK second quarter GDP, eurozone industrial orders and a speech on financial stability by U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas Economic Symposium.
