The CAC 40 finished Friday, November 13, 2026, at 8,368.91 points, up 0.09%. The Paris benchmark extended its winning streak to five sessions and recorded a weekly gain of 2.82%, according to Bourse Direct, which republished a Zonebourse market wrap.
Technology concerns temper European gains
Trading remained cautious as investors continued to assess developments at Nvidia after the company announced the departure of chief executive Jensen Huang. The market wrap said renewed uncertainty around artificial intelligence and a rise in bond yields weighed on sentiment, although Europe's lower concentration of large technology companies limited its direct exposure compared with US markets.
Luxury stocks were among the weaker names in Paris. Richemont's results were stronger than expected overall, but slower growth in its core jewellery business raised concerns about the sustainability of demand. LVMH, Hermes and Kering all ended lower, according to the same market account.
Economic and geopolitical risks remain in focus
Investors also considered US producer-price data, which showed a smaller monthly increase than economists had expected. The figures were assessed alongside changing expectations for Federal Reserve policy and scheduled comments from US and European central-bank officials.
Oil markets and geopolitical developments added to the uncertain backdrop. The report cited continuing tensions involving the United States and Iran, while the International Energy Agency expected global oil supply to exceed demand in the fourth quarter of 2026. Brent crude was reported at 95.89 US dollars after 17:50, while the euro traded at 1.1033 US dollars.
Weekly performance stays constructive
Despite the day's limited advance, the CAC 40 posted a strong weekly result. The index's five-session rise came as selected corporate results and company-specific developments supported individual shares, while the broader market remained sensitive to interest-rate expectations and the outlook for artificial-intelligence investment.
