CAC 40 Rises As Sentiment Improves

(RTTNews) - Amidst broadly positive sentiment, the CAC 40 index that tracks the 40 largest French stocks based on the Euronext Paris has rallied around 0.75 percent.

Shares of ArcelorMittal, Saint Gobain and BNP Paribas recorded gains of more than 2 percent.

Sanofi, Pernod Ricard and STMicroelectronics are the other scrips trading in the red zone.
