The CAC 40 ended 0.9% lower at 6,031.48, erasing its last session’s rebound as the central bank’s determination to fight inflation revived concerns of slowing global growth, overshadowing the optimism over China’s gradual reopening from covid lockdowns. Biggest declines came from the technology and automotive sectors. Renault fell 5.57% and Stellantis 2.81%. Among technology, Eurofins scientific lost 4.93% and Capgemini 3.26%. Commercial real estate stocks also dragged, led by Unibail-Rodamco-Westfield (-4.1%), tracking a fall in European office properties stocks amid downgradings from BofA analysts. Against the trend, Total Energies rose 0.61% amid higher crude oil prices and upbeat ratings from Bernstein.
