(Reuters) – The main European scholarships advance at the start of the session on Monday, while investors are preparing for a possible partial closure of American federal administrations (“Shutdown”), which would delay the publication of the employment report for the month of September and a series of other key data.
In Paris, the CAC 40 earns 0.09% at 7,877.81 points around 07:07 GMT. In Frankfurt, the Dax advances 0.19% and in London, the FTSE 100 rises by 0.26%.
The Eurostoxx 50 index increased by 0.19%, the FTSEUROFirst 300 advances by 0.14%and the Stoxx 600 takes 0.17%.
This Monday, US President Donald Trump will meet the main Democrats and Republicans of the Congress to discuss the extension of government financing.
Without agreement, a “Shutdown” would start on Wednesday, when new American customs duties on heavy goods vehicles, pharmaceutical products and many others will come into force.
“If the closure continues beyond the Fed meeting, it will be based on private data to make its political decisions,” according to Bofa analysts.
“On the sidelines, we believe that this could reduce the probability of a decline in October, but only in a marginal way,” said Bofa analysts.
At the values, Exoseens increased by 3.29% after announcing on Monday the signing of a “major” supply contract with the Spanish Defense Ministry.
On the other hand, Stellantis is in red, abandons 2.13% after having announced on Monday the appointment of Joao Laranjo to the post of financial director (“Chief Financial Officer”), with immediate effect.
