CAC 40 Edges Higher In Cautious Trade
(RTTNews) - French stocks were seeing modest gains on Thursday, after having suffered heavy losses the previous day on concerns that U.S. interest rates are likely to stay higher for longer.
The benchmark CAC 40 was up 22 points, or 0.3 percent, at 7,957 after tumbling 1.5 percent the previous day.
