CAC 40 Edges Higher In Lackluster Trade

(RTTNews) - French stocks were seeing modest gains on Monday despite lingering worries about interest rates and fresh concerns about China's debt-laden property sector.

Banks BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole and Societe Generale were up between 0.7 percent and 0.9 percent.

Eurozone government bond yields edged higher, with Germany's 10-year government bond yield hovering near a one-month high as investors assessed upside risks to the inflation outlook.

Automaker Renault edged up slightly after Tesla Inc cut prices in China for its Model Y long-range and performance versions starting on Aug. 14.

Asian stocks ended mostly lower earlier in the day on China growth concerns while U.S. stock futures rose ahead of a spate of economic data due in the coming days.
