CAC 40 Slips 0.39% to 8,123.41 as Eurozone Bond Yields Climb to Multi-Decade Highs - BBN Times

Paris opened firmly on the back of falling oil and upbeat French services data, but a late-morning reversal driven by surging sovereign yields and weakness in luxury and consumer heavyweights left the CAC 40 at 8,123.41, down 31.50 points on Wednesday, 23 September 2026. The CAC 40 closed Wednesday's session at 8,123.41, a decline of 31.50 points, or 0.39%, from Tuesday's close of 8,154.91. The Paris benchmark opened at 8,190.22, above the previous close, and touched an intraday high of 8,199.66 in the first hour of trade, before sliding steadily through the late morning and early afternoon to a session low of 8,112.22. Its full intraday range spanned 87.44 points. The shape of the session mattered as much as the final number.
