CAC 40 Slumps As Investors Await US Jobs Data For Fed Rate Clues

(RTTNews) - French stocks were moving lower on Thursday after the Federal Reserve's June meeting minutes showed policymakers anticipate two more interest- rate hikes in 2023 to bring inflation back down.

The benchmark CAC 40 was down 121 points, or 1.7 percent, at 7,190 after losing 0.8 percent in the previous session.

The dollar held slightly higher alongside Treasury yields ahead of the all-important U.S. jobs report due on Friday.
