The Paris Stock Exchange rises again slowly

The Paris Stock Exchange kept the pace of its previous sessions with a slight increase of 0.34% at the close on Tuesday, fueled by the hope of a slightly less strict policy from central banks in the coming weeks.

The flagship CAC 40 index gained 22.63 points, 6,592.58 points, in a once again low trading volume of 2.47 billion euros. The day before, he had taken 0.25%. He has recorded four rises in the last five sessions.

The overall framework for the month of August remained the same on Tuesday confirms Guillaume Chaloin, head of equity management at Meeschaert Amilton AM.

Investors take with detachment the mixed economic indicators published in recent days, as on the US real estate sector on Tuesday.

We returned to the theme bad news is good news explains Mr. Chaloin.

Investors hope that a deterioration in economic activity, coupled with the slowdown in inflation, will encourage central banks to be less strict on their monetary policy. Expectations of key interest rate hikes by the American Central Bank (Fed) for the rest of the year have thus fallen compared to the start of the summer.

Wednesday, the report of the discussions of the last meeting of the policy committee of the Fed will allow to better gauge the state of mind of the persons in charge of the institution.

Technology has been the hardest hit sector, after the rebounds in recent sessions.
