CAC 40: +0.54% to 6,589.11 points
The fact of the day
The French index opens the week up slightly in a context of tensions this evening on the geopolitical front as well as on rates, while the OAT, the 10-year French government bond, has returned to the 1% threshold for the first time since 2017. Note, across the Atlantic, the acceleration of Tesla (+7.5%): the car manufacturer will seek the agreement of its shareholders for an increase in the number of shares making up its capital. It will then proceed to a reduction of their nominal value via a distribution of dividends.

After the announcement of a complaint from the State, which will request the reimbursement by the group of public aid which would have been used irregularly, the title sank by 7% in the morning. But investors finally seem to have put the threat into perspective as the stock ended up 4.5% at the top of the SBF 120 index.

Consolidation session or good resistance for the CAC 40. We could go for the 2nd option while the decline in the index seems limited in view of international news: Russian bombardments which resume around Kyiv and inflation which explodes with our European neighbors in March, whether in Germany or Spain. Unsurprisingly, the economic sentiment index is deteriorating in Europe…
