The CAC 40 gained 0.7% to close at 8,447 on Tuesday, extending gains for a fourth straight session and reaching its highest level in two months amid optimism over a preliminary US-Iran deal.

Luxury shares benefited from improved risk sentiment, with LVMH rising 1.5% and Hermès adding 2.2%. Industrial stocks also posted gains, with Safran up 2.4% and Schneider Electric advancing 2.5%. In contrast, STMicroelectronics fell 4% after announcing plans to issue $1.5 billion in convertible bonds.
