(BFM Stock Exchange)-The Parisian star index records its first increase in the week’s increase in retail sales in the United States last month, and the increase in Schneider Electric, the highest weighting of the index, itself caused by the recovery of Legrand’s objectives.

The Paris Stock Exchange recovered this Thursday, July 17, after having chained four sessions in the red. The CAC 40 closes this session net increased by 1.29%, thus returning above the threshold of 7,800 points, at 7,822 points.

Investors were reassured by the main statistical statistics on Thursday, which showed solidity of American consumption in June, one of the pillars of the world’s first economy. Retail sales increased by 0.6% last month after getting 0.9% in May.

“The message is clear: consumption is doing well and does not need a hand on the part of the federal reserve, in the form of a drop in rates. The Fed will not find any reason to act in this report,” said Carl Weinberg, chief economist of Hfe quoted by AFP.

This should irritate Donald Trump even more irritating who said that the president of the American Federal Reserve (Fed), Jerome Powell was doing “bad job” during a press point on Wednesday. This statement reached after press information reported that the American president was going to dismiss the central banker, which was a source of tension for investors.

The American president added during this press point that he was “unlikely” that the central banker did not go after his mandate, who expires next May.

The long -term American bond yields had previously climbed on the basis of press rumors, illustrating fears of the markets. “In the end, most of these movements were canceled after Mr. Trump’s comments,” notes Deutsche Bank.

Legrand and Schneider smile when Publicis Grimace

On the values side, the CAC 40 was increased by the 7.7% increase in Schneider Electric, the highest weighting in the calculation of the index.

The group of electrical equipment is itself caused by its comparable, Legrand, which has raised its growth objective, thanks to the vigor of demand in the Data Centers in the United States, to which Schneider Electric is itself very exposed. Legrand jumped 9% and signs the highest increase in CAC 40 at the end this Thursday.

Conversely, Publicis plunged 6.65% after having given greater growth in the second quarter expectations and noted its target of progression of its income for 2025. But some analysts point to an overly shy revision of this objective, when others evoke negative comments around the expected performance of Sapient, a subsidiary of Publicis, in the second half.

On the side of small and medium capitalizations, Virbac resumed 4.4% after delivering convincing activity in the first half.

Pullup Entertainment jumped 14.9% after unveiling a historic start to the year worn by the excellent start of the Roadcraft game and the quasi-desktop of its back-catalog.
