CAC 40 Moderately Lower; BNP Paribas Rises On Buyback Announcement

(RTTNews) - French stocks are down in negative territory on Monday, retreating from a one-month high recorded in the previous session, as investors make cautious moves amid some concerns about global growth following a downward revision in U.S. credit rating.

Societe Generale and Carrefour are up almost 1%, while Michelin, L'Oreal and Veolia Environment are gaining 0.6 to 0.7%.

AXA, Sanofi, Bureau Veritas, Credit Agricole, Danone and Engie are up with modest gains.
