DAX Edges Higher In Cautious Trade

(RTTNews) - German stocks traded slightly higher on Friday, a day after the European Central Bank (ECB) cut its deposit rate by 25 basis points to 3.25 percent, citing sluggish economic growth and easing inflation.

The benchmark DAX was up 48 points, or 0.3 percent, at 19,631 after rising 0.8 percent on Thursday.

In corporate news, Stratec SE shares fell more than 2 percent.
