The Paris Bourse started the week on the wrong foot on Monday (-0.98%), fears around the spread of the Delta variant having been the occasion for profit taking which spared only defensive stocks.

After opening slightly down, the CAC 40 index widened its losses over the session until it fell below the threshold of 6,600 points.

He fell 64.85 points to 6,558.02 points.

Friday, the Parisian place had given up 0.12%.
