(RTTNews) - French stocks struggled for direction in early trade on Wednesday as growth worries offset expectations of slower interest-rate hikes from the Federal Reserve.

The benchmark CAC 40 was marginally higher at 7,055 after rising 0.3 percent in the previous session. The U.S. dollar was pinned around its lowest level in nine months against peers.
