(BFM Stock Exchange) – The Paris Stock Exchange resumed the height on Tuesday, assessing Donald Trump’s latest announcements on customs duties while digesting the first series of businesses of the week. The CAC 40 revives the threshold of 7,900 points.

The decline in the Paris Stock Exchange on Monday was just a parenthesis. The CAC 40 resumed the increase in the increase this Tuesday, February 4, closing on an increase of 0.66%. This impulse allows it to reconnect above all with the threshold of 7,900 points, at 7,906.40 points.

The operators continue to gauge the evolution of the file on American customs duties. The Trump administration set up, on Saturday, 25% customs surcharge on Canadian (excluding hydrocarbons) and Mexican imports, and 10% on those from China.

Donald Trump agreed on Monday, however, agreed to postpone those struck by Mexico, then those on Canada, after the two countries agreed to strengthen their border controls. This recalls that the American president uses customs duties as a negotiation tool.

China announced on Tuesday that it was retalating with the establishment of customs duties of 15% on imports of American coal and natural gas.

“Washington has not given up imposing customs duties on Chinese imports and, as Beijing Riposte, the risk of a total trade war increases. This scenario throws a shadow on the growth prospects of the Global economy, “said Ricardo Evangelista, from Activtrades.

BNP Paribas and Dassault Systèmes announcements have attracted

In this climate of persistent uncertainty, investors tried to dissect the wave of results of companies published on Tuesday.

At the top of the CAC 40, Dassault Systèmes jumped 8.9% after delivering results slightly above expectations in the fourth quarter. It would seem that the comments of the financial director, Rouven Bergmann, on the trajectory of the cash generation, during the conference call, allowed the title to take off.

BNP Paribas occupies second place in the podium (+4.2%) after announcing quarterly results that have exceeded consensus, thanks to the vigor of market activities.

Publicis won 2.3% after publishing an activity a little above expectations in the fourth quarter.

Excluding the star index, Maisons du Monde fell by 3.1%, while the specialized brand unveiled an annual turnover, for the third exercise in a row.

Apart from publications, Pernod Ricard sold 1.7% and Rémy Cointreau, 2.45%. The two alcoholiers suffered from their comparable Diageo comparable. The latter fell 1.6% on the London Stock Exchange and published results just. Society has mainly withdrawn its medium -term prospects for macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties. The risks of restoration of customs duties on European wines and spirits by the Trump administration are probably not foreign there.

In the other markets, the euro resumes 0.6% against the dollar at 1.0385 dollars. Oil evolves in dispersed order. The April contract on northern Brent of the Brent of Mer grabbed 0.2% to $ 76.10 a barrel while that of Mars on the WTI listed in New York gives 0.7% to 72.68 Dollars per barrel.
