Export prices registered an annual increase of 0.2 percent after a 0.2 percent drop in April. This marked the first rise in two years.

The German DAX was up 79 points, or 0.4 percent, at 18,289 after closing up 0.3 percent in the previous session.

In corporate news, Deutsche Beteiligungs shares plunged 5.4 percent. The capital market company said it plans to issue convertible bonds due 2030 in an aggregate principal amount of 100 million euros.
