[1/2] The German share price index DAX graph is pictured at the stock exchange in Frankfurt, Germany, June 29, 2023. REUTERS/StaffLONDON, June 30 (Reuters) - Global shares stocks were firmer on Friday after data showed that inflation in the euro zone continued to fall this month, and attention turned to U.S. prices figures before the opening bell on Wall Streeet. The dollar and U.S. stock index futures , were firm ahead of the U.S. Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE) index reading due at 1230 GMT, the Fed's favoured inflation gauge. Euro zone inflation fell to 5.5% in June as the cost of fuel tumbled, with Germany the only country to report an increase, with the European Central Bank still on course for a ninth consecutive rate hike next month, sending euro zone government bond yields higher.

Futures indicated European stocks were set for a higher open, with Eurostoxx 50 futures up 0.18%, German DAX futures up 0.24% and FTSE futures 0.28% higher. But before that euro zone June inflation data will likely provide cues to the broader picture in the region, after data on Thursday showed German inflation rose more than expected in June. The strong economic data sent Treasury yields higher, with the yield on 10-year Treasury notes touching a three-month high of 3.868% on Thursday. China's blue-chip CSI300 Index (.CSI300) and the Shanghai Composite Index (.SSEC) rose nearly 1%, while Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index (.HSI) was up 0.24% on stimulus hopes. U.S. crude was flat at $69.87 per barrel and Brent was at $74.49, up 0.2% on the day.

China's blue-chip CSI300 Index (.CSI300) fell 0.14% and the Shanghai Composite Index (.SSEC) eased 0.11%. The number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits unexpectedly fell last week, pointing to continued labour market strength.

The two-year U.S. Treasury yield, which typically moves in step with interest rate expectations, was at 4.872%, having touched more than a three-month high of 4.892% overnight.

REUTERS/Thomas Peter/FILE PHOTOSHANGHAI/SINGAPORE, June 20 (Reuters) - China cut its key lending benchmarks on Tuesday, the first such reductions in 10 months as authorities seek to shore up a slowing economic recovery, although concerns about the property market meant the easing was not as large as expected. The one-year loan prime rate (LPR) was lowered by 10 basis points to 3.55%, while the five-year LPR was cut by the same margin to 4.20%. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) lowered short- and medium-term policy rates last week. "There is no need to roll out all policy measures all at once." Most new and outstanding loans in China are based on the one-year LPR, while the five-year rate influences the pricing of mortgages.
