Aug 12 (Reuters) - gtgEurope's benchmark stock index was subdued on Monday, erasing early gains, with investors bracing for key U.S. inflation numbers togauge the Federal Reserve's monetary policy path amid lingering recession fears and a deluge of other European data.
The STOXX 600 index .STOXX closed on a flat note, after last week's muted performance as the continent-wide index rebounded from last Monday's sharp selloff in risk assets on U.S. recession fears.

Investors are focused on hopes of a rate cut by the U.S. Fed, especially after recession fears in the United States sparked a global markets selloff last week, which was later partially offset byencouraging jobs data.

"This week will throw up a number of opportunities to upset the narrative and allow volatility to rear its ugly head again."
