CAC Gives Up Early Gains

(RTTNews) - French stocks gave up early gains to slip into the red on Tuesday as investors braced for the long-awaited Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on Wednesday for directional cues.

The benchmark CAC 40 was down 26 points, or 0.4 percent, at 5,996 after declining 2.7 percent the previous day.

Banks topped the gainers list, with BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole and Societe Generale rising between 0.6 percent and 1.6 percent.

Euronext edged up slightly after it announced the acquisition of the technology businesses from Nexi's capital markets activities.
