The focus is also on geopolitical news.<\/p>\n<p>The CAC 40, which dropped to 8,2890.61 from a high of 8,366.30, was down 28.70 points or 0.34% at 8,302.70 a few minutes ago.<\/p>\n<p>Kering and Thales are down 3.9% and 3.4%, respectively. Thales slipped following a rating downgrade of the stock by Deutsche Bank.<\/p>\n<p>LVMH is declining by about 2.2% and Capgemini is down 1.7%.<\/p>\n<p>TotalEnergies, Renault, Saint Gobain, Stellantis, Vinci, Veolia Environment, Airbus, Eiffage, Accor, ArcelorMittal, Air Liquide and L&#8217;Oreal are lower by 0.6 to 1.25%.<\/p>\n<p>Among the gainers, STMicroElectronics, Schneider Electric and AXA are up 1.1 to 1.4%.

The statistical office confirmed that inflation eased to the slowest since May, when the rate was 0.7%.<\/p>\n<p>EU harmonized inflation also slowed to 0.7 percent, as estimated, from 0.8 percent in November.<\/p>\n<p>On a monthly basis, both the CPI and the HICP moved up 0.1% each, reversing previous month&#8217;s 0.2% drop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n        window.fbAsyncInit = function () {\n            FB.init({\n                status: true,\n                cookie: true,\n                xfbml: true\n            });\n        };\n        (function (d) {\n            var js, id = 'facebook-jssdk'; if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; }\n            js = d.createElement('script'); js.id = id; js.async = true;\n            js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/all.js\";\n            d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(js);\n        }(document));\n    <\/script><br \/>\n<br \/>\n<br \/>CAC 40 Modestly Lower Despite Soft Inflation Data<\/a><br \/>\n<br \/>2026-01-15 10:49:01<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>France&#8217;s CAC 40 is down in negative territory Thursday morning with investors reacting to some earnings reports and other corporate news, and digesting the nation&#8217;s inflation data.
