(RTTNews) - European stocks were subdued on Thursday and the dollar held near a two-month high ahead of the U.S. CPI data later in the day that could influence the pace and size of interest-rate cuts by the Federal Reserve.
The downside remained capped after official data showed Germany's retail sales increased in August underpinned by food and non-food turnover.
Retail sales grew 1.6 percent on a monthly basis in August after a 1.5 percent gain in July and a 1.1 percent drop seen in June, Destatis reported.
On a yearly basis, retail sales posted a growth of 2.1 percent in real terms and 3.1 percent in nominal terms.
Elsewhere, a closely watched gauge of U.K. house prices turned positive for the first time in almost two years, boosted by expectations of more interest rate cuts by the Bank of England.
