European stocks inched higher early trade on Thursday, halting their two-week slide, although a sell-off among UK retailers after a profit warning by Morrison's limited the rebound, Reuters reported. At 0845 GMT, the FTSEurofirst 300 index of top European shares was up 0.2 percent at 1,309.22 points. The index has slipped 3.2 percent since late February, hurt by tensions in Ukraine and worries over a slowdown in Chinese economic growth. Around Europe, Britain's FTSE 100 index was flat, Germany's DAX index up 0.2 percent, and France's CAC 40 up 0.2 percent. The euro zone's blue-chip Euro STOXX 50 index was up 0.2 percent at 3,071.23 points.
