(BFM Stock Exchange) – The CAC 40 evolves close to balance this Tuesday, July 15, while investors are waiting for data on the consumer price index in the United States.

The Paris Stock Exchange continues to navigate in calm waters. The CAC 40 gives up 0.04% this Tuesday July 15 at the start of the afternoon, at 7,804.02 points.

The day before, the index did not panic after Donald Trump brandished the threat of customs duties of 30% against the European Union during the weekend. The CAC 40 ended with a limited fall in 0.27%.

“The market does not believe in tax ads,” notes Alexis Bienvenu de la Financière de l’Échiquier.

“Having learned by the experience, last April, during the ubiquitous announcement of the ‘reciprocal taxes’, that the measures, even the most strongly hammered, could be questioned the next day or postponed without assured horizon, the investors now make few cases of the presidential announcements. They expect the economic reason to win at the very last moment”, he develops.

L’Oréal penalized by Barclays

Investors now have a spirit turned towards the publication of figures for American inflation for the month of June. Economists expect an increase in prices over a year of 3% for the “Core” figure, that is to say excluding energy and food prices, according to a consensus built by the Wall Street Journal.

These figures will be published while the president of the Federal Reserve (Fed), Jerome Powell, undergoes incessant attacks on the part of the Trump administration, which presss it to lower the rates.

“The inflation figures published Tuesday will therefore be very important: either they will consolidate the Fed in its status quo posture … or they will give grain to grind to Donald Trump, if they do not show any particular rebound, to continue to accentuate the pressure on the Fed,” explains Alexandre Baradez, Ig Markets.

On the side of the values, L’Oréal abandoned 1.1% suffered from a lower recommendation from Barclays to “under-ponder” against “overvoltage” previously.

In other markets, the euro takes 0.1% against the dollar at 1.1678 dollars. Petroleum decreases a little. The September contract on the Brent de Mer of the North loses 0.3% at 69.02 Dollars per barrel while that of August on the WTI listed in New York fell 0.46% to 66.67 Dollars per barrel.
