Paris’s CAC 40 closed nearly flat on Monday, edging up 0.05% to 7,707.90, in a quiet session due to the U.S. holiday and lingering political uncertainty in France. Market breadth was balanced, with 20 gainers and 20 decliners.
The benchmark had fallen 3.3% the previous week amid concerns over political instability. However, the looming no-confidence vote against Prime Minister François Bayrou, expected within days, did not trigger fresh market turbulence.
Among the top performers, Airbus gained 1.64%, Renault added 1.31%, and Teleperformance led the index with a 1.91% rise.
On the downside, Bouygues slipped 1.36%, luxury group Hermès lost 1.34%, and utility Veolia declined 1.13%.
Overall, political risk remained in the background, but trading volumes stayed subdued without Wall Street’s participation.
