(BFM Bourse) – The CAC 40 was almost flat mid-session, while US retail sales and industrial production will be released in the afternoon.
A wait-and-see attitude is called for on the Paris stock market on Tuesday. The CAC 40 is barely moving mid-session, giving 0.02% to 7290.13 points.
The market is avoiding taking risks ahead of a flurry of US data released this afternoon, including industrial production in June, homebuilder confidence in July and especially retail sales in June.
“This number is of great importance as it will tell us about the real situation of American consumers and their ability to put their hands in their pockets. With recent inflation figures showing a massive improvement, there is a good chance that we will see an improvement in consumer spending as the labor market and wage income growth remain stable, if not solid”, analyzes Naeem Aslam of Zaye Capital.
