French Stocks Extend Gains

2026-05-19 07:43 By Czyrill Jean Coloma 1 min. read

The CAC 40 rose 0.6% to 8,032 on Tuesday, extending gains from the previous session as investors cheered the latest developments in US-Iran negotiations.

President Donald Trump said he had canceled a planned strike on Iran following appeals from Gulf allies, adding that there was now a “very good chance” of securing an agreement to curb Tehran’s nuclear program.

Recent developments have contributed to easing oil prices, offering temporary relief to global markets and slowing inflationary pressures.

Meanwhile, finance ministers and central bank governors from the G7 are wrapping up talks in Paris, where policymakers warned of mounting fiscal pressures and heightened volatility across bond markets.

Among individual stocks, gains were led by Saint-Gobain (1.1%), Airbus (1%), Dassault Systèmes (2.7%), Capgemini (2.2%), Pernod Ricard (1.3%), and Publicis Groupe (1.7%).
