The Paris Stock Exchange opened sharply lower Monday (-1.66%), the development of the health situation linked to an epidemic of viral pneumonia weighing on the morale of investors who yield to risk aversion.

At 9:00 a.m., the CAC 40 index lost 100.20 points to 5,924.06 points. Friday, the Parisian odds had ended in clear rebound (+ 0.88%).
