The Paris CAC 40 rose 0.2% to close at 7,934 on Monday as easing international trade tensions helped industrials rally while persistent political uncertainty capped broader gains. U.S. President Donald Trump’s softer rhetoric on possible 100% tariffs on Chinese goods, saying he did not want to “harm” China, lifted exporters and cyclicals, with STMicroelectronics, ArcelorMittal and Stellantis up roughly 2.8% to 3.1% and leading the advance. At the same time President Emmanuel Macron reappointed Sebastien Lecornu and kept the cabinet largely unchanged, a move that failed to remove doubts about the government’s ability to pass key measures in a deeply divided parliament and makes the planned budget presentation by Monday a critical test. On the downside Michelin, Kering and LVMH fell 2.8%, 1.7% and 1.0% respectively.
