European shares advance as bond yields ease; soft inflation powers UK stocks

European shares opened higher on Wednesday due to broad-based gains as bond yields took a breather ahead of a crucial inflation reading in the United States, while British bourses outperformed following a soft local inflation reading.

The pan-European STOXX 600 was up 0.3% as of 0809 GMT, on track to snap a three-day losing streak.

UK’s more domestically focussed midcap index jumped 1.4% after data showed British inflation unexpectedly slowed to an annual rate of 2.5% in December from 2.6% in November, with core measures of inflation falling more sharply.

The blue-chip FTSE 100 was last up 0.7%, outpacing European peers.

Yields on long-dated European government bonds eased a touch, with the yield on the region’s benchmark 10-year bond at 2.602%, on track to snap a 10-day rising streak.
