June 19 (Reuters) -European shares ended lower on Wednesday, pressured by losses in real estate and technology stocks, while UK stocks were buoyed by metal miners as investors digested its inflation data.
The pan-European STOXX 600 .STOXX closed down almost 0.2%, with the real estate sector .SXP86 falling 1.2% and technology stocks .SX8P dropping 1.1%.

Britain's FTSE 100 .FTSE reversed earlier losses to close up 0.2%. Data showed UK inflation returned to its 2% target in May for the first time in nearly three years, but underlying price pressures remained strong, meaning the Bank of England (BoE) is likely to wait longer before cutting interest rates.
"Economies are stagnant, but no worse. So the cost of being too dovish on inflation and seeing it re-accelerate is a greater risk for (the BoE) than keeping things tighter for another meeting or two in search of more data," said Richard Flax, chief investment officer at Moneyfarm.
Market focus will now shift to interest rate decisions from central banks in Britain, Norway and Switzerland later this week.
