Lender Societe Generale was marginally higher after it named Bruno Delas as chief information officer to replace Carlos Goncalves, who is leaving the bank.

Automaker Renault rose over 2 percent after the European Commission, the executive arm of the European Union, launched an investigation into subsidies given to electric vehicle makers in China.
