2026-03-16 08:43 By Joshua Ferrer 1 min. read

The CAC 40 fell 0.2% to around 7,900 on Monday, marking its fourth consecutive session of losses, as investors stayed cautious ahead of a week filled with key central bank meetings and rising worries that energy price spikes tied to the Iran conflict could revive inflation pressures across Europe.

Israeli officials warned the war may continue for several more weeks, while President Trump said Tehran was “not ready” to reach a deal.

Markets are now focused on upcoming decisions from the European Central Bank and the Federal Reserve, both widely expected to hold interest rates steady while evaluating the economic fallout from the conflict.

Among notable decliners were Airbus (-2.1%), Safran (1.2%), EssilorLuxottica (-0.7%), while energy firm TotalEnergies (0.5%) outperformed.
