CAC 40 set for a slightly higher opening this morning

Yesterday the CAC 40 once again led the gains for the major European stock markets. The index rose by 1.24%, eclipsing the 1.16% gain for the DAX and 0.61% for the FTSE 100. The CAC 40 put on 93 points yesterday to close at 7,632. The latter part of that rise was clearly assisted by the gains stateside and the record closes for the Nasdaq 100 and the S+P 500 have added to that momentum so far this morning. Hence, the CAC 40 is right now priced to reopen around 7,655, but that might change in the next 30 minutes. Of course the US markets are closed today and it is also important to note; that there are now just 2 more trading days before the second round of the French election (Sunday) so, there is still plenty of time for a last minute bout of nerves to impact this index ahead of the weekend
