The CAC 40 was trading at 8,201.56 points on Monday, November 9, 2026, up 0.77 percent from Friday's officially recorded close of 8,139.00. The level was displayed on Boursorama's live market page at 12:33 Berlin time. The previous close is also recorded by Euronext for November 6.
Industrial Shares Lead the Rebound
Monday's advance followed a difficult end to the previous week, when global technology selling weighed on European equities. According to Ideal Investisseur, 26 CAC 40 constituents were rising while 14 were declining in its late-morning market snapshot. Sanofi, Airbus, ArcelorMittal, Legrand and STMicroelectronics were among the strongest performers.
The same report said Sanofi benefited from a recommendation upgrade by BNP Paribas Exane, while Legrand advanced after UBS raised its rating and price target. Airbus and other cyclical and industrial shares also participated in the recovery. These company-specific moves helped support the index, although the broad performance remained uneven.
Luxury Shares Remain a Drag
Luxury stocks moved in the opposite direction. LVMH and Hermes International were among the weakest CAC 40 constituents, while Euronext and TotalEnergies also declined in the cited market snapshot. The contrast between advancing industrial shares and falling luxury names points to selective rather than broad-based risk appetite.
Oil and U.S. Data in Focus
Falling oil prices provided an additional backdrop for Monday's European trading. A Morningstar report said Brent crude remained below 100 U.S. dollars a barrel as markets assessed comments that reduced expectations of further U.S. strikes on Iran. Investors were also preparing for U.S. consumer-price data due Tuesday and monitoring reports that Nvidia had opened an investigation after allegations involving its chief executive. The reports added uncertainty around the technology trade ahead of the U.S. session.
