European equity close: A solid day despite the CPI blip

Closing changes in Europe:

• Stoxx 600 +0.1%
• German DAX +0.5%
• France CAC +0.2%
• UK FTSE 100 +0.35%
• Spain IBEX +1.0%
• Italy’s FTSE MIB flat

European markets opened higher and then some selling hit after the hot US CPI report. That dip was quickly bought and the indexes finished the day with gains.
