July 11 (Reuters) -European shares extended gains on Thursday as more upbeat earning updates and softer-than-expected U.S. inflation data rolled in, strengthening the case for a September rate cut from the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The Europe-wide STOXX 600 index .STOXX ended 0.6% higher, slightly off the two-week high it notched earlier in the session.
U.S. consumer prices fell for the first time in four years in June amid lower gasoline costs and moderating rents, firmly putting disinflation back on track and drawing the Fed another step closer to cutting interest rates in September.
Real estate shares .SX86P and utilities .SX6P were the biggest boost to the benchmark index, while the STOXX 200 small cap index .SCXP outperformed the large caps with a 1.1% rise.
"(The data) has boosted expectations that the Fed will cut rates, starting in September. And if the Fed cuts, it makes it easier for the ECB to do so as well," said Stuart Cole, chief economist at Equiti Capital.
"European markets are thinking along these lines, and now anticipating a brisker pace of monetary easing in Europe than was previously expected. And that is good for stocks."
