5 June 2026, 23:50  France: CAC 40 Retreats on Tech Weakness and Geopolitical Risks.

The CAC 40 fell 0.3% to close at 8,218 on Friday, pressured by a global technology selloff after Broadcom issued weaker-than-expected guidance, weighing on AI-related stocks. Schneider Electric, which recently announced plans to raise €800 million through a convertible bond offering following strong share-price gains driven by its data-center business, dropped 4.5%. Semiconductor maker STMicroelectronics shed 5.8%. Elsewhere, Stellantis extended losses by 3% after announcing earlier this week more than €1 billion of investments in electric and hybrid vehicle production in France. Meanwhile, Iran-backed Hezbollah rejected a new Lebanon ceasefire proposal, while Israel said it would not withdraw its troops, undermining US diplomatic efforts to halt the conflict and advance negotiations with Iran. Oil prices remained above $90 per barrel, while stronger-than-expected US payrolls data pushed bond yields higher, fueling concerns about inflation and borrowing costs.
