CAC 40 Little Changed As Geopolitical Tensions Ease

Automaker Renault rose 0.6 percent after industry data showed Europe's new car registrations increased for the third straight month in October.

New passenger car registrations logged a double-digit annual growth of 12.2 percent in October, faster than September's 9.6 percent increase.

Bouygues tumbled nearly 4 percent. The construction and media conglomerate confirmed its forecasts for sales and profitability in 2022 after reporting higher sales in the first nine months of the year.
