(RTTNews) - France's CAC 40 rose to a record high Thursday morning as stocks climbed higher, reacting to U.S. President Donald Trump signing a bill to end the longest government shutdown in history.

Saint Gobain, Bouygues, Unibail Rodamco and BNP Paribas are up 1.5 to 1.8%. L'Oreal is up 0.8% after issuing bonds worth 3 billion euros.

AXA, Dassault Systemes, TotalEnergies, STMicroElectronics, EssilorLuxottica, Vinci, L'Oreal, Renault, Orange, Engie and Schneider Electric are also notably higher.

Legrand is declining by about 0.8%. Pernod Ricard and Edenred are down 0.6% and 0.25%, respectively.
