CAC40 scored since the opening a new zenith annual 4.130Pts but has fallen back all its initial gains (+0.7%) in less than half an hour before falling into the red shortly before the lunchtime.

The final score is exactly the same as at noon or at the opening of Wall Street: CAC40 fluctuations were strictly controlled between 4090 and 4110 for nearly six hours of quotations.
