The Paris Stock Exchange was heading with a smooth and rising opening on Monday, the first session of 2023 where volumes should still remain reduced due to the absence of American investors.
The futures contract for the star CAC 40 index advanced 0.55% about forty minutes before the start of the session. On Friday, he ended the session down 1.52% to 6,473.76 points, weighed down by the trend in the American markets.
The drop over the week was slight (-0.47%), but over the year, the CAC 40 experienced its biggest drop since 2018, with -9.50%.
Today’s agenda is calm for investors, but the week will be less so, with the highlight on Friday being the monthly report on employment in the United States.
Before that, the minutes of the last monetary policy meeting of the United States Federal Reserve (Fed) will be published on Wednesday.
“Given the lack of speech from Fed officials since the December meeting, (this publication) will also be an important element” to gauge the evolution of monetary policy in the coming months, believes Stephen Innes , from Spi AM.
The main Asian and American markets are closed on Monday, as is the London Stock Exchange in Europe.
