Current trend
One of the leading indexes of the European economy CAC 40 is corrected at around 7254.0.
The period of publication of corporate reports is almost over, and investors are once again focusing on macroeconomic statistics and the situation on the domestic bond market. Today, the August data on business activity in the leading sectors of the French economy were published: the Manufacturing PMI rose from 45.1 points to 46.4 points, and the Services PMI fell from 47.1 points to 46.7 points. At the same time, the Composite PMI remained at the same level of 46.6 points, while the forecast was 47.5 points.
The upward trend continues on the bond market, which was confirmed by auctions for the placement of short-term bills. On Monday, the yield rates of 3-, 6- and 12-month securities amounted to 3.684%, 3.658% and 3.639%, respectively, which significantly exceeds the figures recorded a week earlier (3.657%, 3.637% and 3.627%). The situation is similar in 10-year bonds, where the yield in recent days has increased to 3.165% from 3.000% in early August.
