** Shares in Germany's Kion Group KGX.DE jump as much as
9.9% after the forklift manufacturer teamed up with Nvidia
NVDA.O and Accenture ACN.N
** Kion said it would optimize its supply chain service
offer through AI-powered robots and online testing of warehouse
configuration prior to physical implementation
** "Shares overreacted a little bit as a key AI player like
Nvidia is included and because shares underperformed over the
past months," a trader says
** Still, the trader adds the deal increases the credibility
of Kion's service offering
** If gains hold, Kion's stock will see its best day October
2018; at 0953 GMT shares are up around 8%, topping the
pan-European STOXX 600 index .STOXX
