(News Bulletin 247) – The Parisian index is regaining some color this Thursday at midday with its sights set on the threshold of 7,200 points. In a private compass market Wall Street, closed for Thanksgiving Day, investors are not avoiding political risk in France.

Shaken in recent sessions by Donald Trump’s customs offensive and then political uncertainty in France, the Paris Stock Exchange is trying to regain its senses this Thursday.

The CAC 40, however, must cope without Wall Street, closed for the Thanksgiving holiday. In the absence of American speakers, it is therefore in low volumes (with only 570 million euros exchanged) that the Parisian index progresses by 0.37% to 7,169.14 points, this Thursday at mid-session . On Wednesday, it fell 0.72%, closing at its lowest level since the beginning of August.

The Parisian market is therefore offering a slight respite while investors are still assessing the political situation in France. The budgetary situation and the threat of censorship from the Barnier government concentrate operators’ fears.

This Thursday, the Minister of Economy and Finance Antoine Armand said he was ready to make “concessions”, explaining that he wanted to avoid a “storm” in France, on the air of BFMTV-RMC.

“France is not Greece,” he declared, while the French 10-year borrowing rate briefly exceeded its Greek equivalent this Wednesday, reflecting a concern rarely seen on the markets for the French situation.
