LONDON, Nov 22 Reuters Global shares hovered around threemonth highs on Wednesday and the dollar found support as investors tempered some of their earlier enthusiasm about the prospect of the start of a series of U.S. interest rate cuts.

The MSCI AllWorld index fell 0.1, down for a second day following the decline on Wall Street, after minutes from the Federal Reserve39;s most recent meeting offered little new insight into policymakers39; thinking on rates.

Nasdaq futures fell 0.3 in European trading, while those on the SP 500 were down just 0.1. Volumes are likely to be light through the rest of the week because of Thursday39;s Thanksgiving holiday in the United States.
