CAC 40 Declines As Growth Worries Deepen

(RTTNews) - French stocks were moving lower on Thursday after data showed U.S. retail sales fell by the most in a year in December, raising concerns about consume spending and the health of the economy.

The benchmark CAC 40 dropped 34 points, or half a percent, to 7,048 after ending flat with a positive bias on Wednesday.

Oil & gas stocks fell, with TotalEnergies declining more than 1 percent as crude prices fell nearly $1 a barrel on concerns about the outlook for fuel demand.

Banks BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole and Societe Generale all fell around 1 percent.
