The CAC 40 ended Friday's Paris session at 8,368.91 points, up 0.09% or 7.55 points from Thursday's close of 8,361.36. The index reached a new one-month closing high as investors weighed support from energy and defensive groups against renewed uncertainty in the technology sector.
Investing.com reported that oil and gas, consumer services and utilities were among the sectors supporting the French benchmark. Trading was not uniformly positive across the wider Paris market: declining stocks outnumbered advancing shares, while 87 stocks finished unchanged.
Energy and Consumer Shares Lead
TotalEnergies gained 1.91% to 82.17 euros, making it the CAC 40's strongest performer. Pernod Ricard rose 1.65% to 72.78 euros and Carrefour added 1.54% to 14.22 euros. At the other end of the index, ArcelorMittal fell 3.03% to 57.02 euros, Kering dropped 2.43% to 184.64 euros and Safran declined 1.83% to 306.60 euros.
The Hargreaves Lansdown market report said European equities were little changed after four consecutive advances. Investors continued to assess the implications of Nvidia co-founder Jensen Huang's departure as chief executive, while a global outage affecting Microsoft 365 services added another technology-sector concern. The report noted that the CAC 40 nevertheless edged higher by 0.1% to 8,368.91 points.
Five-Day Advance Continues
The move extended the CAC 40's winning streak to five trading sessions. The index added 2.82% over the week, according to Morningstar, citing Dow Jones Market Data and FactSet. Despite the latest advance, the benchmark remained 4.09% below its record close of 8,726.03 points reached on August 10.
