(RTTNews) - The DAX benchmark of the Frankfurt bourse moved higher on Wednesday amidst relief following the more-than-expected dip in inflation in the U.K. Data released earlier showed inflation in the U.K. cooling more than expected to 10.1 percent in January versus 10.5 in December and expectations of 10.3 percent. Earlier, hotter-than-expected inflation readings from the U.S. had dampened sentiment across regions and markets.
