India, June 10 -- German stocks slipped into negative territory on Wednesday amid escalating tensions between Iran and the U.S. following the former attacking U.S. bases in Jordan and Bahrain, retaliating to the U.S. attack on the Islamic Republic.

The US said it carried out a series of strikes on Iranian military and surveillance sites in response to the downing of an American helicopter in the Gulf.

Investors also looked ahead to the U.S. inflation data due later in the day, and the European Central Bank's monetary policy announcement on Thursday.
