CAC 40 Falls on Iran-US Tensions
The CAC 40 shed 0.4% to close at 8,147 on Monday as reports that Iran will halt communication with the US cast doubt on the prospects for renewing the ceasefire. Oil prices rebounded, reviving stagflation concerns and pushing bond yields higher. Investors also assessed the outlook for the French economy after the Bank of France signaled it would lower its growth forecasts later this month following a weak start to the year and persistent geopolitical uncertainties linked to the conflict in the Middle East. The central bank currently expects the economy to expand by 0.9% this year, while the IMF recently cut its forecast to 0.7% from 0.9%. Industrial stocks led losses, with Airbus down 3.6%, Safran losing 2.8%, and Thales shedding 4%. Luxury shares also traded lower amid higher risk aversion, with LVMH down 0.7% and L'Oréal losing 0.8%. On the upside, TotalEnergies gained 1.6% as oil prices advanced.
