CAC 40 Modestly Higher

(RTTNews) - The French market is modestly higher in cautious trade on Tuesday with investors closely following the developments on the geopolitical front.

The UK-EU trade agreement on Monday has helped lift sentiment to some extent.

Orange is rising about 3%. Engie, Thales, BNP Paribas, Stellantis, Capgemini and Eurofins Scientific are gaining 1 to 1.4%.

Credit Agricole, Legrand, Bouygues, Schneider Electric, Dassault Systemes, Edenred, Publicis Groupe, Sanofi and Michelin are up with moderate gains.

Hermes International is declining 1.6%. LVMH is down 0.65%, while Accor, TotalEnergies, Saint Gobain and Kering are modestly lower.
