May 14 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen opening 42 points higher at 7,005 on Friday, according to financial bookmakers.

* ENVIRONMENT: Britain wants to broker a global agreement to stop the cross-border financing of coal projects when it hosts a major climate conference in November, a senior government minister said. GOLD: Gold prices fell and were on track for a weekly loss, as firmer dollar and rising U.S. Treasury yields dampened the metal's safe-haven appeal. OIL: Oil prices fell as coronavirus cases remained high in major oil consumer India and as a key fuel pipeline in the United States resumed operations after being shut due to a cyber attack. The UK blue-chip index .FTSE closed 0.6% lower on Thursday, dragged down by losses in heavyweight commodity stocks and Burberry Group (LON: BRBY ), while fears of a spike in inflation as the economy recovers hurt demand for equities.
