Every Wednesday, the editorial staff of Le Figaro Bourse et placements looks back on the key trends in the CAC 40 over the past week.
Paradoxical. While fears around France's budget for 2025 have focused all the attention of investors and economists on the past week, the CAC 40 has had five sessions in positive territory, a first in a long time. However, political chaos is total in France, with a motion of censure against the Barnier government about to be voted on in the Assembly this Wednesday evening, leaving the country without a budget for 2025 and in great uncertainty for the future. .
At the same time, borrowing rates eased and, despite this unprecedented situation, S&P maintained its rating at “AA-” for France, specifying nonetheless that a downgrade remained possible. Thus, the Parisian index appreciated by 0.51% last Thursday, then accelerated with an increase of 0.78% the next day. Almost stable session after the weekend (+ 0.02%), before an increase of 0.26% on Tuesday. It ends on a new positive note this Wednesday at 7,303.28 points (+ 0.66%), gaining 2.24% over the entire sequence.
