CAC-40 Rises Amidst Cautious Optimism

(RTTNews) - The CAC-40 traded with mild gains on Thursday amidst hopes of a pause by the Federal Reserve and fears of a hawkish stance by the European Central Bank. Fears ahead of the release of the CPI data from the U.S. however lingered.

The CAC-40 is currently trading at 7,220.98, gaining 0.25 percent from the previous close. The day's trading has been between 7,184.19 and 7225.94.

Capgemini and Worldline have declined more than 1 percent.

The Dollar's retreat amidst expectations of a pause by the Federal Reserve dragged the Dollar Index 0.24 percent to 103.85, lifting the EUR/USD pair 0.28 percent to 1.0729. Amidst the ECB's unwavering hawkish stance, the yield on France's ten-year bond has increased 0.43 percent overnight to 3.010%, from the previous close of 2.997%.
