The CAC 40 passed the symbolic threshold of 8,000 points in session this Thursday, March 7 at 2:30 p.m., a peak never reached before. The flagship index of the Paris Stock Exchange has shown an increase of 5.5% since the start of the year.
Investors' good mood is fueled by the promises of artificial intelligence and the prospect of a reduction in key rates from major central banks by the end of this year. LVMH, BNP Paribas, Sanofi and even Air Liquide have all announced a significantly increased dividend.
