KONTAN.CO.ID - LONDON. European shares edged higher on Tuesday, with trading muted as investors awaited the latest inflation figures from the United States, while results drove big moves in Iliad and E.ON. French telecoms company Iliad fell 6.7 percent even as it reported higher annual sales and profits for 2017, with traders pointing to flat fixed-line revenues in the final quarter. It comes as dominant French telecoms company Orange returned to growth last year for the first time since 2009 after spending heavily to roll out high-speed broadband.
