2025.09.1208:01:35UTC+00French Stocks Open Higher for Fifth Straight Session

The CAC 40 experienced a slight increase of 0.1% to reach 7,835 on Friday, continuing a five-session trend of gains as investors anticipate a Federal Reserve interest rate cut next week. U.S. inflation figures aligned with expectations, while unemployment claims surged to a nearly four-year peak, strengthening the argument for monetary easing. Meanwhile, the European Central Bank indicated that its cycle of rate cuts might have concluded, with President Lagarde stating that disinflation has ended and that growth risks are now more evenly distributed. Investors are currently focused on Fitch Ratings' assessment of France's sovereign credit rating, expected after the market closes today. Notable stock movements included Thales (+0.7%), STMicroelectronics (+1.1%), Saint-Gobain (+1.1%), and ArcelorMittal (+1.3%) advancing, while TotalEnergies (-0.6%), EssilorLuxottica (-0.3%), and Stellantis (-0.2%) declined. Additionally, Euronext will replace TP (formerly Teleperformance) in the CAC 40 index starting Monday, September 22.
