CAC 40 Gives Up Early Gains Ahead Of Key Data
(RTTNews) - French stocks gave up early gains to trade on a flat note Thursday as investors awaited more economic data to gauge the potential impact of rising interest rates on growth.

Across the Atlantic, investors await the weekly jobless claims report later today and the more closely watched nonfarm payrolls report due on Friday for additional clues on the pace and path of U.S. rate hikes.
