The Paris Bourse started the day on a slight gain: 0.31% to 3536.95 points. But in mid-session, the CAC40 has accelerated its rebound, clinching 0.86% to 3556.43 points. In London, the FTSE was up 0.77% to 5235.44 points shortly after noon, while the German Dax climbed 0.45% to 6032.44 points.
Markets are still clinging to macroeconomic announcements, only able to move the index in August. On Monday, the Institute has unveiled a Markit composite PMI index in France to 59 points in August against 59.7 in juillet.C is its lowest level in five months. The services PMI index stood at 59.9 against 60.5 expected and 61.1 in July.For its part, the manufacturing PMI stood at 54.7 against 53.4 expected and 53.9 in July, its highest in two months.
In Germany, the PMI for services stood at 58.5, while economists had expected a figure 56.3 from 56.5 after he published the previous month. It was his fastest pace in three years. In contrast, the manufacturing PMI fell to 58.2, its slowest pace in six months, against 61.2 observed in July and 60.5 expected by economists. The composite index has nonetheless reached its highest level in four months, to 59.3 against 59.0 in July.
The rest of the week promises to be loaded including unemployment figures in France in July (Wednesday), the new home sales and durable goods orders in July in the U.S. (Wednesday) and weekly entries to unemployment overseas (Thursday).
The hesitation may yet be well on the markets on Monday. After closing largely under the 3600 points on Friday, down 1.30% net, the CAC 40 should be difficult to get out of the red zone. With two weeks of decline, Wall Street does not give signals of optimism. For their part, Asian markets are very hesitant, juggling between gains and declines for several sessions.At the Paris Bourse, the key index also remained febrile throughout the week, erasing gains from one month to return to its levels of July.
