The Paris Bourse ended down 1.01% on Monday, at the end of a session less nourished in exchanges, due to the absence of American investors, and which took the opposite of the rise in Friday.

The star CAC 40 index fell 74.60 points, ending at 7,314.05 points. On Friday, it had gained 1.34% to conclude its best week since mid-April (+2.43%).

Volumes traded on Monday were reduced (2.6 billion euros) with the closure of US markets due to a public holiday in the United States. No economic indicator was expected.

“Today’s losses mainly follow Friday’s decline on Wall Street,” where the indices fell back a bit following a long bullish streak, said CMC Markets analyst Michael Hewson.

In Paris, Friday’s winners, including luxury stocks, this time pulled the rating down (LVMH -1.75% to 853.40 euros).

After a week marked by the meetings of the major central banks around the world, “the next publications of corporate results will only start in three weeks, so we will live to the rhythm of the news, rather macro-economic, to confirm or invalidate trends”, describes Bertrand Lamielle, managing director of Portzamparc management.

“We are gaining 14% over the year, it’s a good performance. We are in a phase of hiatus, of consolidation and we will need good news to start once more”, he judges.

On the bond market, the interest rate on the French 10-year loan, the benchmark maturity, rose sharply to reach 3.03%, its highest level since May 26.
