(RTTNews) - French stocks are high up in positive territory on Thursday with U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs for most trading partners, excluding China, buoying up sentiment and prompting investors to indulge in hectic buying across the board.
