- The CAC 40 stood at 8,365.09 points at 12:25:32 Berlin time on November 13, 2026, up 0.04 percent from the previous close.
- Investors weighed uncertainty around Nvidia and artificial-intelligence valuations against higher oil prices, rising bond yields and fresh euro-area data.
- Thursday's close was 8,361.36 points, after a 0.34 percent gain.
The CAC 40 was trading at 8,365.09 points at 12:25:32 Berlin time on Friday, November 13, according to a market report published by finanzen.ch. The index was up 0.04 percent against Thursday's close, keeping Paris equities broadly stable during the European midday session.
Market Focus Shifts Between AI and Rates
Trading remained cautious as investors continued to assess the consequences of Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang's resignation and the wider repricing of artificial-intelligence-related stocks. A Capital article carried by Yahoo Finance said the market was also monitoring inflation and a renewed rise in oil prices. Around 10:00 Paris time, the CAC 40 had been down 0.06 percent at 8,356.31 points, before recovering toward midday.
The same report said Brent crude was higher and French 10-year government bond yields had risen to 4.90 percent from 4.84 percent on Thursday. Higher energy prices can revive inflation concerns, while rising yields may put pressure on equity valuations. These factors helped explain the restrained tone despite gains in parts of the market.
Selected Shares Provide Some Support
According to finanzen.ch, STMicroelectronics gained about 1.5 percent and TotalEnergies rose 1.4 percent. Danone, Euronext and Carrefour advanced between 1 percent and 1.1 percent. The weaker side included ArcelorMittal, down 1.7 percent, while Safran fell 1.3 percent and Kering eased about 1.1 percent. The mixed performance indicated that strength in energy and selected large companies was offsetting weakness in several cyclical, luxury and technology-sensitive names.
Thursday's Gain Sets the Comparison Base
The CAC 40 had closed Thursday at 8,361.36 points, up 0.34 percent, according to The Edge. That was the fourth consecutive daily gain. Friday's movement therefore represented consolidation close to the latest completed-session level rather than a decisive reversal.
Eurostat data cited by finanzen.ch showed euro-area gross domestic product expanding 0.4 percent quarter on quarter in the third quarter, with annual growth at 1.3 percent. The data matched preliminary estimates. With the Paris session still open at the reported time, the intraday level should not be treated as a closing value. Further direction may depend on developments in US rates, technology sentiment and energy markets. More CAC 40 coverage is available on the CAC 40 topic page.
