The CAC 40 was trading at 8,331.94 points in early European trading on Wednesday, November 11, 2026. The level was reported by The Associated Press at 6:44 a.m. EST, equivalent to 12:44 CET in Berlin and Paris. Compared with the CAC 40's November 10 close of 8,278.59 points, the index was up 53.35 points, or 0.64 percent.
Technology shares support Paris trading
The advance followed renewed interest in artificial-intelligence-related stocks. Yahoo Finance, citing Investing.com, reported that European equities were supported by strong third-quarter earnings and better-than-expected revenue from US cloud-computing company CoreWeave. The results helped ease concerns about a possible slowdown in spending on AI infrastructure.
In Paris, semiconductor and technology-linked names were among the stronger performers. STMicroelectronics, Legrand and Schneider Electric were identified as beneficiaries of the renewed AI interest in a report by Investir. The source said the CAC 40 was up 0.6 percent at 8,329.70 points earlier in the morning.
Inflation keeps rate policy in focus
The broader rally remained qualified by the latest US inflation data. The Associated Press reported that October consumer prices rose more than economists expected, pushing Treasury yields higher and strengthening expectations of a Federal Reserve rate increase in December. Investors were weighing the prospect of at least a 25-basis-point move, with some market participants considering whether a larger increase could be necessary.
The CAC 40's advance therefore combined a technology-led earnings impulse with continuing sensitivity to interest-rate expectations. The Paris market was open despite the public holiday in France, and the index session was still under way at the reported time.
