India, May 29 -- German stocks are up in positive territory on Thursday amid easing trade tensions following a U.S. Federal Court ruling that President Donald Trump had overstepped his authority by imposing across-the-board duties on imports from U.S. trade partners.

U.S. chip maker Nvidia's upbeat earnings and guidance contribute as well to the positive sentiment in the market.
