LONDON, Nov 10 (Reuters) - European shares edged lower in early trading on Tuesday, snapping a four-session winning streak, with Barclays (BARC.L: Quote, Profile, Research) leading financials down after announcing quarterly results.

At 0819 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was down 0.2 percent at 1,010.68 points after jumping 2 percent in the previous session.

"On a medium term basis, there is a typical consolidation mood after a bull market that we have seen since March," said Achim Matzke, a strategist at Commerzbank in Frankfurt.

Banks were among the top losers, with Barclays falling 2.7 percent despite posting a 1.56 billion pound ($2.6 billion) profit in the third quarter. [ID:nLA601181]
