CAC 40 Stays Balanced Ahead of US Inflation Figures Publication

(BFM Bourse) – The CAC 40 is in balance before the publication of inflation figures in the United States for the month of May, which will be unveiled this afternoon.

After regaining a little bit of a taste for risk on Monday, the Paris Stock Exchange is back in “pause” mode before the publication of inflation figures in the United States this afternoon. The CAC 40 advance is stable at 7250.35 points at mid-session on Tuesday.

Market operators are therefore avoiding risk-taking before the publication of the consumer price index, the main measure of inflation, for the month of May at 2:30 p.m. Economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal anticipate a rate of 4% on an annual basis and a rate of 5.3% for the “core” figure, which excludes food and energy prices.

A publication which will be all the more followed as the Federal Reserve (Fed) begins a two-day meeting on Tuesday with a decision on its rates on Wednesday evening. For now, the market is banking on the status quo. The European Central Bank (ECB) meeting will follow on Thursday.
