CAC 40 Edges Lower As Investors React To China's Stimulus Announcement

(RTTNews) - French stocks were little changed on Friday as China's top legislative body - the National People's Congress (NPC) - approved the State Council's proposal to increase local government debt limit by $839 billion after a week-long session.

The benchmark CAC 40 was down 11 points, or 0.2 percent, at 7,414 after climbing 0.8 percent the previous day.

Eurozone bond yields dipped after a busy week of central bank meetings and amid the collapse of the German government.

Luxury stocks LVMH, Kering and Hermes fell 2-3 percent after Cartier owner Richemont posted a 20 percent drop in net profit for the first half of the year.
