The Paris Stock Exchange ended up 0.60% on Monday, after a flat week, with investors mainly preparing for new data on the inflation front.
The star CAC 40 index advanced 42.02 points to finish 7,087.06 points. On Friday, it fell by 0.96%, reaching equilibrium (-0.03%) for the week as a whole.
After a peak above 7,100 points at the start of the session, benefiting from the initial decline in interest rates, the Parisian rating returned to a slight increase for most of the session. It accelerated again in the last minutes of trading.
On the bond market, the 10-year French government interest rate ended very slightly lower, around 3.29% after changing direction several times during the day.
We are awaiting inflation figures in the United States from Tuesday in particular, explains Aurlien Buffault, director of bond management at asset manager Delubac AM.
These figures notably guide the policy of central banks. In Europe and the United States, these have initiated the end of rate increases, but this movement remains fragile.
Inflation which excludes the more unstable prices of energy and food, known as underlying inflation, is expected to be stable at a fairly high level well beyond the central bankers’ target, explains Mr. Buffault.
Further indications on the pace of price increases are expected in the UK and the Eurozone during the week.
