(RTTNews) - French stocks are high up in positive territory on Thursday with U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement of a 90-day suspension of reciprocal tariffs for most trading partners, excluding China, buoying up sentiment and prompting investors to indulge in hectic buying across the board.

Unibail Rodamco, Safran, ArcelorMittal, Accor, Essilor, Kering, Airbus, AXA, Dassault Systemes, LVMH, Teleperformance, Capgemini, Schneider Electric and Credit Agricole are gaining 5 to 7%.

Veolia Environment, Edenred, Air Liquide, TotalEnergies, Hermes International, Renault, L'Oreal, Vinci, Pernod Ricard, Sanofi, Legrand, Bureau Veritas, Carrefour, Michelin and Bouygues are also up sharply.
