March 11 (Reuters) - Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE index is seen open 36 to 68 points higher on Friday, or up as much as 1.1 percent, according to financial bookmakers. For more on the factors affecting European stocks, please click on The UK blue chip index closed 1.8 percent lower at 6,036.70 points, its lowest close since late February, after a sharp fall in commodities stocks offset an earlier rally fuelled by the European Central Bank's move to cut its deposit rate. BHP BILLITON: Samarco, a joint venture between Brazil's Vale SA VALE5.SA and Australia's BHP Billiton BLT.L , expects to restart production at its iron ore mine in Minas Gerais by the start of the fourth quarter, its chief executive told Reuters on Thursday, less than a year after a burst tailings dam there killed 19 people. OIL: Oil prices jumped on Friday supported by fresh investment and a strong yuan, which makes fuel cheaper for Chinese importers, but analysts warned that any price rally was pre-mature as a global glut remained in place.
