CAC 40 Inches Higher In Cautious Trade

Major European markets will be shut for two days on Friday and Monday to celebrate Easter.

The benchmark CAC 40 was up 21 points, or 0.3 percent, at 8,226 after gaining 0.3 percent the previous day.

Renault rose about 1 percent. Following a share buyback program announced by Nissan on March 27, Renault Group sold 99.13 million shares back to Nissan, or about 2.5 percent of Nissan's capital amounting to 358 million euros.
