(RTTNews) - European stocks slipped into the red on Friday ahead of the release of flash euro zone inflation data for November, due later in the day.

Elsewhere, official data showed German retail sales fell more than expected in October, falling 1.5 percent month-on-month.

The pan European Stoxx 600 was marginally lower at 507.02 after rising half a percent on Thursday to snap two days of declines.

The German DAX and France's CAC 40 also traded flat with negative bias while the U.K.'s FTSE 100 was down 0.2 percent.

Mining stocks traded higher amid growing expectations for new stimulus ahead of a key policy meeting in China next month.

Caffyns, a motor retailer, fell 2.6 percent after reporting flat revenue growth for the first half.
